Girls and sports are supposed to be a total love story. Sadly, in Canada, 1 in 2 girls drops out of physical activity before reaching adulthood due to negative body image or feeling like they don't belong (2020). That’s why Ballet Hop! is super proud to team up with partners like FillActive, La Lancée, and Groupe Équilibre to take real action for girls and women in sports. Through FitSpirit days, "Weight? No comment!" week, and by jumping into all kinds of empowering female events, we're making room for girls, step by step.

Because safety is everything.
In response to the heartbreaking wave of femicides in Quebec over recent years, the entrepreneur behind Ballet Hop! also launched the Bas de Laine Foundation, helping domestic violence survivors regain their financial independence. Through emergency nest eggs that help women in transition leave shelters, the Foundation boosts access to vital emergency resources and gives affected women and their kids a truly fresh start.

To celebrate International Women's Day, we drop a limited-edition t-shirt every year, with all profits going straight to the Bas de Laine Foundation. Café Les Impertinentes also hosts tons of fun fundraisers for the Foundation throughout the year—follow along right here!
