Team building day
Spending a day with Northern Ballet will inspire creativity and provide you and your team with a day to remember.
Take a glimpse into life behind-the-scenes at a worldclass touring ballet company and learn from Northern Ballet's unique approach to the creativity, passion and teamwork required to develop a new production, to manage a successful tour and to achieve a successful World Première.
Through enjoyable yet challenging activities, participants will learn skills that can be transferred into their working environments and everyday lives such as co-operation and teamwork, nonverbal and physical communication (body language), creative thinking, problem solving and confidence building.
A team building day might include a light breakfast, tours of Northern Ballet, an energiser session and/or dance workshop, a chance to work on a creative task set by Northern Ballet's artistic team as well as a training session delivered by a recognised business training provider. Day delegate rates are based on 20-25 staff and include lunch and refreshments.
'Being allowed to be creative and laugh at ourselves is great soul food that produces a great atmosphere in the office'
Dance class attendee
'It was a fabulous team building event and brought out the inner dancers in us all. Free expression ran riot and de-stressed us all'
Accenture employee
The team from ASDA were highly impressed with the whole experience and your warm welcome and hospitality were much appreciated

Dance classes and energisers
A dancer's day always begins with a warm-up, physically and mentally preparing the body and the mind for the demands of the day ahead. Many companies encourage staff to take part in physical activity prior to commencing work to motivate and improve productivity.
So why not enhance your experience at Northern Ballet with a dance class or energiser?
Dance classes for employees, partners or management teams can be designed for an individual organisation's needs, developing skills such as cooperation and teamwork, communication, problem solving and creative thinking.
A Northern Ballet energiser is a gentle exercise routine that can take place from your seat and will accommodate all delegates. It takes 10 minutes and is a fun way to engage and motivate a large group of people during a conference day.
The dance class or energiser is delivered by a member of Northern Ballet's experienced Learning team. The sessions are charged in addition to room hire and catering charges.
It is also possible to add talks from our technical and wardrobe departments to your day and when the Company is home, observing Northern Ballet in class or rehearsal is an unforgettable experience. Additional fees may apply.
Fees Team building day £90 per person plus VAT Energiser session £150 plus VAT Dance class £300 plus VAT (There is an option to add live music at an additional cost)

Northern Ballet offers exceptional facilities and flexible options for conferences, meetings, formal dinners, cocktail parties and performances. Unlike any other venue, it is home to two world-class dance companies, Northern Ballet and Phoenix Dance Theatre. Holding an event here will bring you, your colleagues and your clients in touch with these two exceptional companies.
Our ground floor 230-seat Studio Theatre is an exceptional venue for conferences and performances.
It is a flexible space with retractable seating and can be divided into two smaller but still sizeable studio spaces, perfect for the smaller conference or the more intimate lecture or recital. Fully-opened the Studio Theatre is the largest dance studio in Europe.
Large windows run the length of the room and allow natural light to flood in during the day as well as providing glimpses of the activities inside for passers by. For extra inspiration etched into the glass is a stunning zoetrope of images of dancers created by artist Joe Fairfax and a viewing gallery allows visitors to watch the action. The space also has blackout blinds if required meaning any lighting effects won't be lost and privacy is guaranteed.
Since our official opening in January 2011 we have welcomed to the Stanley & Audrey Burton Theatre
- Gok Wan's Fashion Fix
- &Co.
- The Ethical Property Company
- Wayne Sleep
