CELEBRATING THE ARTISTS OF TOMORROW
BALLET NIGHTS
NEW FUTURES
Ballet Nights New Futures is a celebration of what’s next for dance, marking a landmark moment for the sector. Designed as an experience for past, present, and prospective students, as well as parents and supporters, the inaugural programme offers a rare, joined-up view of training, the aspiration of youth, and professional possibility.
Featuring students from The Royal Ballet School, English National Ballet School, Central School of Ballet, Rambert School, Elmhurst Ballet School, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and Northern School of Contemporary Dance, New Futures bridges education and industry in a way rarely seen.
For the first time, the UK’s leading ballet and contemporary training institutions come together on the Cadogan Hall stage, creating a shared platform that reflects the full breadth of today’s UK dance training ecology.
Alongside this exceptional cohort, we proudly present our Ballet Nights Young Ambassador for Indonesia 2026, reinforcing Ballet Nights’ commitment to international exchange and future-facing opportunity.
