Atlantic Ballet of Canada Tickets

Atlantic Ballet Atlantique Canada (ABAC) is a dynamic Canadian ballet company founded in 2002 by Susan Chalmers-Gauvin (CEO) and Igor Dobrovolskiy (Artistic Director). Based in Atlantic Canada, ABAC has earned recognition for blending classical ballet technique with theatrical, narrative movement — a style often described as the theatre of movement. The company’s mission centers on creating expansive, story-driven performances that connect audiences with dancers, live musicians, and distinctive venues across the region.

Led by a creative duo celebrated for their contributions to Canadian performing arts, ABAC continues to tour nationally and internationally, presenting ambitious productions that highlight place-based storytelling and community engagement. Their programs emphasize collaboration, artistry, and accessibility, making live dance a compelling experience for diverse audiences.

Key programs include Ballet by the Ocean, an outdoor performance series staged on protected wetlands near Grande-Digue, NB, which marries dance with location-specific cuisine to create a multisensory event. The company also presents large-scale touring works, including contemporary adaptations of classic narratives like Don Juan, with NB stops planned in Fredericton, Moncton, and Miramichi in 2025. ABAC's founders and collaborators have received numerous honors, reflecting their impact on Canadian arts — from the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for High Achievement in the Performing Arts (2014) to the Senate of Canada’s 150th Anniversary Medal (2017) and Meritorious Service Decorations (Civil) (2021).
