Talbot Theatre, Thomas Dixon Centre

#The future of dance.


Celebrate the rising stars of dance with Queensland Ballet Academy’s showcase event of the year. A sell-out in 2024, the annual Gala presents a program of elegant classical ballet and vibrant neo-classical and contemporary works performed by the accomplished young dancers of Queensland Ballet Academy. Enjoy new and celebrated works by renowned Australian choreographers, and a selection of dynamic pieces choreographed by the dancers themselves.  

Across a diverse program, audiences will witness the Upper School and Pre-Professional Program dancers’ artistry and technical expertise honed from their world-class training. This production culminates in a rousing Academy Défilé which presents the entire ensemble, including the Lower School, together on stage.  

As the official academy of Queensland Ballet, we produce professional artists in demand around Australia and internationally. Don’t miss this highlight event, presented in the Talbot Theatre, Thomas Dixon Centre – the home of Queensland Ballet.


Please note: This performance will most likely use theatrical haze and smoke effects.  

#“…there was no evidence that they were only at the beginning of their careers in dance and for all of them, there are bright, bright futures ahead.”

Queensland Ballet Academy

Queensland Ballet Academy offers professional ballet and dance training, designed to nurture the young dancers of today into the world-class artists of tomorrow.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and perform. Long before we performed on this land, it played host to the dance expression of our First Peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders — past, present and emerging — and acknowledge the valuable contribution they have made and continue to make to the cultural landscape of this country.
