NYB Alumni

We are so proud of the achievements of all of our alums. Whether dancing in ballet companies across the world, performing in West End shows and contemporary dance companies, choreographing ballets, leading ballet schools, working in dance science, working as film makers or as artistic directors, the list goes on and on!

One thing is for sure, the NYB experience prepares young people very well for the world of work. The spirit of team work, collaboration and company stay with our alums into their working lives and give them a head start in everything that they do.
