About National Youth Ballet

Vision

The future of ballet and dance lies in the creative hands of young people.

 

 

Mission

National Youth Ballet provides empowering and transformational opportunities for young people to learn about dance and ballet and experience creating and performing new work.  We seek to give our future generations a strong and diverse voice.

Values

NYB is committed to creating an empowering, inclusive environment where young dancers can thrive. We work to create a company environment for young dancers, and our residential opportunities are designed to prepare them for professional life, either in dance or in whichever field they choose to enter. We feel strongly that our team should model the behaviour we expect from the dancers, showing support, kindness and compassion. As part of our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) we are keen to attract diverse talent, welcoming people from all backgrounds and however they identify.

 

Diverse: 

We make ballet accessible to young people from all backgrounds and levels of experience.

Ambitious:

We create bold new works with young people’s voices at the heart of our performance and production.

Nurturing:

We prioritise the wellbeing and creativity of every dancer, building kind communities where they can be their authentic selves.

Challenging:

We push the boundaries of how ballet is created, taught, and experienced, inspiring a more accessible art form.

Ethical:

We seize every opportunity to champion fairness, equity and the environment to make a positive impact.
