The United Ukrainian Ballet Company, or simply the United Ukrainian Ballet, was a Ukrainian ballet company. Founded in 2022 by Igone de Jongh, the troupe consisted of dancers in exile due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The troupe was based in The Hague, the Netherlands.
The company made its debut in August 2022, with a Dutch tour of Giselle, staged by Alexei Ratmansky, followed by appearances in the UK, Singapore, Australia and the United States. In January 2024, the troupe announced it would disband due to financial constraint.[1]
