English National Ballet has a long and distinguished history. Founded in 1950 as London Festival Ballet by the great English dancers Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin, it has been at the forefront of ballet’s growth and evolution ever since.
English National Ballet brings world class ballet to the widest possible audience through performances across the UK and on eminent international stages; its distinguished orchestra, English National Ballet Philharmonic; its digital platforms; as a leader in creative learning and engagement practice, building innovative partnerships to deliver flagship programmes such as Dance for Parkinson’s; and through talent development initiatives including Ballet Futures which looks to create a more diverse future for the artform.
English National Ballet continues to add ground-breaking new works to its repertoire whilst celebrating the tradition of great classical ballet, gaining acclaim for artistic excellence and creativity. 2019 saw the Company enter a new chapter with a move to a purpose-built state-of-the-art home in east London, allowing a renewed commitment to creativity, ambition, and connection to more people, near and far, than ever before.

Tamara has just spent 8 minutes thanking others; we will spend the next 10 years thanking Tamara for taking a company that really had lost its way on a journey that has taken it to the most wonderful and exciting ballet company in the world.
Her legacy will live on in a building that was only possible due to her vision and the support of people like Justin Bickle, but inside that building is a company whose repertoire is inspirational and groundbreaking with wonderful dancers and other staff.
In 2012 Tamara’s stated aim was to have a world-class company. At the time we looked at the bottom of that mountain and wondered how she would ever achieve it, yet she has with her vision and hard work, and the support of so many wonderful people.
Thank you for taking us on your journey, we have just loved the ride and had our eyes opened. We will miss you Tamara but you have left us with the most wonderful memories.
Take care of yourself and your lovely family and we will all keep an eye on the development of San Francisco Ballet.
There will always be a place for you in our hearts in England; we have only "lent" you to California but your real place is back here in your adopted home.
Angela and David Brinkman
Thanks forever Tamara! It's unbelievable what you have done in just ten years for English National Ballet. What an artistic director!!! CONGRATULATIONS & THANKS THANKS THANKS ❤️
Tamara has done amazing work with this Company and I wish her every success in her new post. Her dancing has given me much pleasure over the years. I always recognised her as soon as she appeared on the stage, she had such grace. After her I watched her wonderful farewell performance for the Royal Ballet in 'Marguerite and Armand' in February 2013, which was of course followed by many curtain calls and bouquets and also a surprise appearance of Carlos Acosta, I saw her only eight days later, in her first season as English National Ballet's Artistic Director, dancing a superb Aurora in 'Sleeping Beauty' in March at The Mayflower, Southampton. The young girls sitting next to me thought that she was wonderful, not knowing how famous she was!
She's done an absolutely brilliant job of turning things around. What an amazing ambitious woman.
Thank you Tamara, for so many years of wonderful and exiting performances in London. Your passion for such a delicate and powerful dancing, as your inspirational creativity is a gift, it allowed us to dream and feel exited.
I loved you in Carmen 2009, La Bayadère, and of course, Romeo & Juliet with Carlos Acosta.
Thank you for your online classes during the pandemia lockdown, so nice of you!
I saw Raymonda last, a brilliant choreography!
Lots of NHS staff there!
What next?
Best wishes in San Francisco.
