Summer School Holiday Program

101 L’Estrange Tce, Kelvin Grove, QLD, Queensland Ballet Academy

Summer School Holiday Program

Immerse your child in the magical world of dance over the school holidays with Queensland Ballet’s Summer School Holiday Program, designed for children aged 6 – 10. Held at Queensland Ballet Academy’s state-of-the-art home in Kelvin Grove, this program has two different offerings which cater to children of all dance abilities.

There are two streams to choose from depending on your child's level of experience and either a half day or a full day option. Each day of the program features morning sessions tailored separately for each stream, offering targeted learning experiences. For those involved in the full day option, both streams will unite during the afternoon sessions, fostering collaboration and a shared enjoyment of dance.

Taught by Queensland Ballet Academy faculty and Queensland Ballet Teaching Artists, children will be sure to leave this four-day program with a spring in their step!
