About This Video
The International Adult Ballet Festival (IABF) 2026 is set to be an unforgettable experience, and it all starts with the incredible venue: the Atlantic Center for the Arts. This exclusive video preview takes you inside the facilities where dancers from around the world will gather for a week of intensive training, creative exploration, and community building. Broche Ballet is thrilled to showcase this artistic sanctuary designed to inspire every attendee.
The heart of the festival is the breathtaking ballet studio. Imagine practicing your technique in a space featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that offer panoramic views of a lush, verdant forest. This immersive environment allows you to connect with nature while focusing on your artistry.
In addition to the main ballet studio, the campus includes a professional Black Box Theater, perfect for rehearsals and performances that bring your hard work to life. Beyond the barre, the Atlantic Center for the Arts is a true retreat. The campus is dotted with creative nooks intended for writing, music, and painting, encouraging dancers to find inspiration in multiple art forms.
Communal dining areas foster a sense of belonging, where you can share stories and meals with fellow adult dancers who share your passion. Accommodation options are diverse to suit every preference. On-site, you can choose from private artist dormitories, ADA-accessible rooms, or multi-person cottages equipped with full kitchens—ideal for those who enjoy a home-away-from-home feel.
For those who crave the ocean breeze, off-site lodging is available at the Salty Mermaid Hotel in New Smyrna Beach. We have even arranged a dedicated shuttle service to ensure a seamless commute between the beach and the studio. Whether you are seeking a quiet solo experience or a social cottage stay, the IABF 2026 venue provides the perfect backdrop for your ballet journey.
Join us for a blend of technical growth and artistic rejuvenation in this one-of-a-kind setting.
