Dance the Atlantic
The beauty of ballet is you can simply feel it. That’s why, at English National Ballet, we create moving, meaningful experiences – on stage and beyond – that open up the possibilities of dance for everyone, everywhere.
United by this shared ambition to take ballet to new places to connect with more people, in more places, in more ways, the collaboration invites guests behind the scenes of ballet for an iconic Transatlantic Crossing on board Cunard’s flagship Queen Mary 2.
Dance the Atlantic offers the unique opportunity to witness, up close, the magic English National Ballet creates on stage. During the crossing, guests gain an intimate view of ENB’s artistry. You can watch morning ballet classes, attend afternoon rehearsals, and then join the Cunard Insights talks revealing the dedication and exhilaration of a professional dancer’s life. You can participate in workshops led by ENB associate artists and attend stunning performances in the Royal Court Theatre, featuring excerpts from classical masterpieces and innovative contemporary works.
Since the first Dance the Atlantic in 2019, together with Cunard, we have welcomed over 8,000 guests to delight in this unforgettable experience.
