One of the world's great ballet companies
English National Ballet is one of the world's great ballet companies. The original 1950s vision for the company - to take classical ballet of the highest quality to the widest geographical audience, at a price everyone can afford - remains the cornerstone of its philosophy today.
As a flagship company for the nation, English National Ballet tours extensively. It employs the best of British and international talent: choreographers, dancers, designers, musicians, rehearsal staff, technicians and administrators - all working as an ensemble to create productions that tour brilliantly and are accessible and exciting to audiences.
The company has 64 core dancers and 47 orchestra members, and for large performances these numbers are increased.
