Supporting emerging young dancers

With a highly skilled faculty and a purpose-built learning and training facility, the Academy of Queensland Ballet is the ideal environment for young, academically empowered dancers to thrive.

The Academy of Queensland Ballet is a unique training organisation for children aged 6-18 years. Our full-time program from Years 7 - 12, allows students to undertake face-to-face academic studies alongside their professional ballet training, all on the one site at Kelvin Grove State College. 

Supporting the Academy enables:

• Delivery of professional training program from within world-class facilities
• Support for students who otherwise may not be able to participate in our programs, due to socio-economic disadvantage including financial hardship, gender equity, geographic location and demographics, cultural background and family circumstances.
• Support and wellness staff on site for students
• Staging of professional performances to provide studio-to-stage experience for the next generation of dancers

The Academy acts as a springboard for each student developing their creativity, curiosity and technical ballet proficiency to propel them through their life.
