As per ancient Indigenous diplomatic customs, Atlantic Ballet Canada recognizes the unceded traditional territory of the Wabanaki people in Atlantic Canada and honours the cultural inspiration of the past and present generations. As an ally, we will continue to produce works that contribute to the reconciliation process while honouring the Peace and Friendship treaties.
Atlantic Ballet Atlantique Canada is an international award-winning, creation-based company with a focus on new works, collaboration and broad- based public engagement in the arts. It presents 20 to 30 performances annually at home and abroad.
Atlantic Ballet serves as a creative dance hub by supporting artist development and exchange through an Artist in Residence program, a biennial IMPACTfest featuring dance, film, workshops and artist networking and hosting an intensive International Summer training program.
