Newport Contemporary Ballet presents the Newport Dance Festival on its stage on the lawn of the historic Great Friends Meeting House in downtown Newport. Newport Contemporary Ballet is joined by visiting companies from near and far to bring innovative and inspiring dance to our community.  Each evening, audiences will be treated to a diverse line up of works from the various companies including a world premiere by NCB’s own Emily Baker.
