    NBS: Canada's National Ballet School

    Celebrating its 50th year in 2010, Canada's National Ballet School, is an important training institution for aspiring young dancers and teachers. Although about 1,000 young dancers audition each year, only about 50 are accepted into the NBS's full-time Professional Ballet/Academic Program or the Post-Secondary (Intensive Dance). The School's progressive curriculum, with its emphasis on the physical and emotional well being of the student, has put NBS at the forefront of dance training internationally. NBS graduates can be found as dancers, choreographers, artistic directors, teachers, and administrators in over 65 dance companies world-wide. NBS also operates a retail store, The Shoe RoomŪ. The School's graduates include Canadian ballet stars such as Karen Kain, Rex Harrington ( see Past Events - Unmasked ) , Veronica Tennant, James Kudelka and most of the dancers in the National Ballet of Canada and dance artists in major companies around the world. Many of the students we meet opening night were headed for the Canadian National Ballet next year. NBS also operates a retail store, The Shoe RoomŪ.

    The GRAND PAS DE DEUX was a beautiful night for a very worthy cause. If you missed this event, be sure to put it onto your calender for next year! Also note that NBS will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in October of 2010. For more information about the National Ballet School or to donate, click on this web page for its web site!
