American Friends

Genevieve Penn Nabity

A Cross-Border Community

Dance knows no boundaries. It unites us through its power, energy, and beauty. For nearly 75 years, The National Ballet of Canada has captivated audiences on both sides of the border with a unique blend of American spirit and Canadian artistry.

As a hub of creativity, the National Ballet is dedicated to our founding principles: to perform the classics at the highest calibre and expand the art form with distinctly Canadian works. We are honoured by the many Americans who travel to Toronto to experience our performances and by the invitations to perform at leading US dance venues and prestigious festivals.

Through American Friends, you will join a passionate community of US and Canadian dance lovers who share our vision. Your support fuels our artistic journey, helping us bring the beauty of ballet to an even broader audience. Together, we can make dance a truly borderless experience.
