English National Ballet creates moving, meaningful experiences that open up the possibilities of ballet. Founded in 1950, we have been opening doors, curtains and minds, and taking ballet to new places – creatively, emotionally, and physically - ever since. Today, we continue to share the beauty, power and emotion of ballet with more people, in more places, in more ways.
