What We Do

We are a registered charity that is committed to attracting and training the most talented and passionate young dancers and performers, helping them on their way to a full and rewarding life. Our mission is to help those children from less privileged families on this arduous yet wonderful path and to change their lives for the better, step by step.

Support Us

By donating any amount, no matter how small, you can help a child to pay for lessons, uniform or even subsistence while they train. Ballet shoes, for example, need frequent replacing. Regular lessons are essential.

Fundraise

Our wonderful Gala Concerts, where our children bewitch the audience with their achievements, raise most funding. 2 of our 4 Galas were staged in the magical Floral Hall of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Smaller fundraising events are held when possible.

Achieve

The driving ethos of the charity is to bring children to peak performance standards by training their bodies and their minds. While our children are encouraged to reach excellent academic standards, their performance skills are attained through dedication to their art in class and on stage.

About Our Charity

The Du Boisson Dance Foundation (DBDF) is committed to training and educating young people who are passionate about dance and who have the potential to achieve the arduous goal of performance, irrespective of their ability to pay. The DBDF is also committed to its work within the community promoting dance and related performance arts for both adults and children alike. Read more …
