World Ballet Day 2020

We'll take you behind the scenes at Queensland Ballet for sneak peeks of studio rehearsals, company class and coaching sessions.

You’ll hear from our dancers about life in isolation and the incredible 60 dancers: 60 stories works that arose from our loungerooms and kitchens during lockdown.

Join us on a tour through our state-of-the-art Academy and hit the road to Goondiwindi with our incredible teaching artists who take this magical art form to so many regional and rural audiences around Queensland every year.

Please sit back and enjoy our celebration of World Ballet Day.
