Northern Ballet is a powerhouse of inventive dance. Bold and confident in our approach, we engage, involve and move our audiences. Touring more extensively than any other UK ballet company, we reach a diverse range of people through passionate story-telling, a mastery of classical dance technique and an absolute commitment to our leading role as an international ambassador for world-class dance. We believe that everyone can enjoy dance, whether watching it or joining in, at school, in the studio or at the theatre. We work with communities to make the work of Northern Ballet accessible to all.
