At Canada’s National Ballet School (NBS), excellence, access and inclusion fuel our belief in sharing the transformational power of dance to change lives for the better. NBS is sharing dance through the Olympic-calibre training and holistic preparation of young dancers for careers on the world stage, and by successfully training teachers, ballet masters and artistic directors who hold posts in sch

ools and companies across Canada and around the globe. Within communities across Canada, NBS is sharing dance by empowering school teachers and community programmers in using dance to enhance kids’ fundamental movement skills, inspire creativity, and improve mental and emotional well-being. With in-person and video-streaming delivery models, NBS engages seniors to be more active, socially connected and confident through the artistic expression of dance. Whether you want to own the spotlight, or dance for the joy of it, you belong at NBS.
