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.

Safe We champion healthy and sustainable practice.
Nurturing We contribute to a mutually positive and nurturing experience.
Respectful We are respectful of each other, and show this in our interactions with everyone; both online and in person.
Inclusive We value diversity and proactively seek to create an inclusive environment for all stakeholders.
Communal We are a community and we grow from our shared experience.
Creative At our core we are creative and collaborate in our creative process.
Challenging We challenge perceptions about what ballet is and conventions about who ballet is for.
Sustainable We acknowledge that there is a climate emergency. We are action-oriented and committed to using our influence, resources, and skills to be a positive force for change.
Exceptional We work hard to create high quality educational and dance experiences.
