The Ballet Soul Charitable Trust was founded by Benjamin Love in September 2001 with the aim to bring ballet and an appreciation of ballet in all its forms to a wider audience particularly those disadvantaged as a result of their financial or cultural situation and background.

The Trust aims to assist financially and otherwise provide development opportunities amongst young people to engage in the performance and in the study of ballet in all its forms by the way of workshops, master classes and educational projects.

These objectives, however, are reinforced by one of the fundamental aims of the Trust to assist the public at large towards a greater appreciation of ballet in all its modern and contemporary dance forms.

Ballet Soul signature choreography employs the discipline and structure of classical ballet fusing contemporary and ethnic dance forms – it is the mixing together of the rhythms and movements found in Africa, Eastern and Western cultures which give Ballet Soul a distinctive position in modern dance. One of the aims of the trust is to train and support dancers to perform this exciting new form of ballet.
