Queensland Ballet in the Central Highlands

Discover the joy of dance
This September, Queensland Ballet’s Community and Education team is returning to the Central Highlands, thanks to the support of our local partner, Central Highlands Regional Council.
Join us for Community Dance Classes in Emerald—open to all ages and abilities. No ballet experience? No problem! Whether you're new to dance or a seasoned mover, we have a class for you. Check the Emerald class schedule to find your perfect fit.
Across the region, our Ballet for Seniors classes will be delivered in collaboration with local Seniors’ exercise groups. If you’re interested, speak with your usual class facilitator to find out more.
Plus, don’t miss our delightful First 5 Forever Storytime Ballet sessions at libraries in Emerald, Capella, Blackwater, and Springsure. Contact your local library for details and to register.
