Junior programs
Leap into the wonderful world of a ballet with events, workshops, activities and more for 6-12 year old children.
"From QB Petit Pointers taking their very first leap, through to our empowered and talented QB Teens, QB Junior is a special opportunity for young people across Queensland to connect with this magical art form. I invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we explore the wonderful world of ballet."
– Li Cunxin AO
Junior programs have been developed in partnership with our Education Teaching Artists, drawing upon their own experiences of dancing as a young person and teaching children the foundations of ballet.
This is a fun-filled program, designed to inspire young people, allow them to meet other kids, engage with dancers and explore their imagination.
Events are free for QB Junior members, but are open to everyone to attend.
The QB Junior membership is a 12 month membership program, giving members access to exclusive online dance classes and creative content, discounts on Junior events, merch packs and more.
Membership costs $75 (ages 6 – 12)
