Our Mission

National Ballet Competition was founded in 2018 to provide aspiring dancers the opportunity to perform and learn with their peers from around the world. National Ballet Competition provides opportunities to learn from distinguished dance professionals and receive scholarships from world-renowned ballet schools. Our goal is to provide young dancers with a rich and inspiring learning experience. Going straight from classical to your contemporary is extremely challenging- which is the point. At NBC, we strive to push dancers physicality and stamina.
