The Guest Academy Program provides a unique, world-class training opportunity for elite students based outside the Brisbane metropolitan area. These areas may include the wider South East Queensland area, intrastate / interstate or international locations.
Students in Years 7 – 9 at school are welcome to apply for this program during our annual audition season. Selected students will follow the same curriculum as our Academy Program Levels 6 - 4, during a 5-day visit each term of the Queensland state school year.
Dancers in this program enjoy professional training in the subjects outlined below, with Queensland Ballet Academy's world-class Faculty. A well-being session is also offered to promote a holistic approach to the development of the young dancers in the Program.
Each visit also offers the opportunity to observe our full-time dancers in classes, and where possible, with access to Queensland Ballet company. Guest Academy Program students receive special discounted rates to Queensland Ballet Academy's holiday programs and other events.
