”Ballet class is like Life Lessons 101.
You learn some of life’s most important lessons here
that you will carry with you forever.”

”Ballet technique is arbitrary and very difficult.
It never becomes easy… it becomes possible.”

The Dutch National Ballet gave its first performance on 16 September 1961. Now, fifty years’ on, it is one of the top international companies and a respected art institution in the Netherlands. So there is plenty of reason to dwell in the 2011/2012 season on this golden anniversary and on the company’s developments over the years. But there is also plenty of reason to look ahead, by presenting new creations that provide a refreshing look at the future of dance.
