#Regional Community Engagement Tour

Providing life-long learning experiences and access to ballet across Queensland communities.

We are passionate about sharing the joy and benefits of dance and movement with regional communities. Our programs are designed to bring people together through movement and creativity, fostering connections that inspire and uplift.

From our In-School Workshops and Kindergarten Workshops to Community and Dance for Health Classes open to all ages, abilities, and experience levels, there is something for all. We also offer First 5 Forever storyballet sessions that spark imagination in young minds and Dance Health classes that promote well-being through movement. We work with you to learn about your region and design a tour that suits your community’s areas of interest.

To all schools, kindies or studios, seasoned dancers, curious beginners, or seniors looking to stay active, we warmly invite you to join us as our Teaching Artists travel throughout your region. No prior dance experience is needed - just bring your enthusiasm and a love for trying something new!
