Sky Arts - Sky Arts and ENB

English National Ballet has been sponsored by Sky since 2003 and Sky Arts has been National Tour sponsor since 2007. The National Tour takes place in spring and autumn, and goes across England and Wales including Manchester, Southampton, Oxford, Bristol and a Christmas Season in London.

ENB is one of the world's great ballet companies. The original 1950s vision for the company - to take classical ballet of the highest quality to the widest geographical audience, at a price everyone can afford - remains the cornerstone of its philosophy today. As a flagship company for the nation, English National Ballet tours extensively. It employs the best of British and international talent: choreographers, dancers, designers, musicians, rehearsal staff, technicians and administrators - all working as an ensemble to create productions that tour brilliantly and are accessible and exciting to audiences.

Sky Arts' investment in the National Tour supports the very core of English National Ballet's work. It enables them to plan a tour that touches as wide an audience as possible and at a price that people can afford. We are proud that by supporting them we are helping the company in its original mission.

In addition to sponsoring its touring activity, Sky Arts also works with English National Ballet on workshops for schools throughout the UK. These creative workshops, in which children take an active part, aim to increase their understanding and appreciation of ballet. They are run by specially trained dance officers and musicians.
