Isn’t there something just so calming and awe-inspiring about ballet?
The swift, yet graceful movements, the elegance portrayed in every move. Now just imagine that feeling is amplified. Imagine you’re sitting by the ocean, hearing the sound of waves crashing against the shore as you feel the cool summer breeze against your skin? Isn’t the thought of that just making you feel so relaxed and content?
Hopefully, you’re as excited as I am because I’ve got great news for you as you can convert the image into a reality. Atlantic Ballet is returning with their popular Ballet By The Ocean performances.
2022 performances will feature new original choreography by Igor Dobrovolskiy, inspired by and created especially for the location, performed on an outdoor stage and set on the beautiful southeast shores of New Brunswick.
If you’re still not as pumped as I am about this event, you should be because they’ve organized a local food tasting with Chefs Emmanuel Charretier and Gene Cormier. This means you’ll get to taste scrumptious specialties of the region, all of which were made, grown and cultivated in New Brunswick.
The event is located at Grand Digue, New Brunswick. It is an incredible event to attend with your friends and family. However, if you don’t want to miss out on this spectacular summer event you should book your tickets as soon as possible.

According to my experience, I would rate this a 6/10. The dancers were wonderful and so was the surroundings. However, I was really looking forward to the food experience but we only got a piece of pie which tasted
and looked like store bought pie. From my experience, I would not recommend this activity to anyone and especially at that price. Our whole party was quite disappointed.
