North Atlantic Dance Theatre (NADT) is a vibrant New England based dance company creating original works of art, invigorating our audiences with a new experience in the ballet world. Our collaborations with dancers, choreographers, musicians, visual artists, and the community keeps the art form fresh. Established in 2013, NADT’s creative performances inspire audiences to delve into another world, even if for only a short time. Founder and Artistic Director, Lucy Warren-Whitman’s guiding mission is to bring ballet into the 21st century, keeping it relevant and enjoyable for people of all walks of life.
As the ballet company in residence at The Cabot Theater, NADT traditionally performs 4-5 programs annually in the greater Boston area. While we currently cannot connect with our community in person, NADT is committed to bringing the experience of dance to our audiences in the safety of their homes with digital offerings.
Since its founding, Ms. Warren-Whitman has created original versions of many classic stories for NADT including Nutcracker, Scheherazade, Cinderella, and The Little Mermaid. NADT has commissioned new works including Lorraine Chapman’s Firebird and our bi-annual 1:2 program featuring two choreographers’ interpretations of one commissioned music score.
Our community driven trainee program, NADTYouth, was created in 2016 to provide opportunities for aspiring young dancers to work alongside and perform with our professional dancers. Inspired by its popularity, NADTheSchool was launched Fall of 2020. Created to provide students with the tools and direction to pursue their dreams of becoming professional ballet dancers, NADTheSchool prides itself on its thoughtfully curated syllabus. Continually adapting to our environment, TheSchool was launched virtually to ensure the safety and health of our students, teachers and community at large. Taking a holistic approach to ballet education, TheSchool emphasizes hard work and perseverance while providing a sense of community and support. The next generation in dance, both on stage and in the audience, is a driving force behind NADT.
NADT greatly appreciates the foundation provided by all its generous supporters, past and present. We invite you to join us on our journey, performing original works year-round in Boston’s Northshore and digitally in the safety of your home. Your continued support enables us to keep the arts alive in our community.
