English National Ballet’s dancers performs as Wilis from Akram Khan's Giselle. The dancers stand in a line, dressed in tattered dresses, and pose on pointe with their arms extended in a menacing way. The stage is dimly lit, creating a haunting and dramatic atmosphere.

Step into the next chapter of ballet.

For 75 years, English National Ballet (ENB) has been at the forefront of British dance, showcasing a unique blend of classic ballet and bold new work. Since its creation, ENB has grown to become one of the world’s leading ballet companies, with an ongoing commitment to opening up the possibilities of ballet and sharing our work with the widest possible audience on stage and beyond.

In our anniversary year, ENB has launched the Young Leaders Collective (YLC), a group of influential individuals who are dedicated to championing ballet and the productions, performers, and public engagement – present and future – that define who we are.

As part of this dynamic network, your philanthropic support will champion ENB and its groundbreaking work, and drive forward vital ENB initiatives and appeals that enhance dancer well-being, create captivating productions, engage young audiences, and make ballet more relevant and accessible than ever.

By joining the Young Leaders Collective, members receive tickets to dedicated performances with private YLC receptions, as well as invitations to exclusive gatherings and special events, giving members the opportunity to connect with a circle of inspiring peers, all while leading the charge for the future of ballet.
