From 2015 – 2024, through the support from the Department of Education, and Queensland Ballet donor and partner support, Queensland Ballet has enabled 273 full or part-time bursaries and scholarships for students of our training program.
#Supporting Queensland Ballet Academy helps to make the greatest impact for our emerging artists.
With a highly skilled faculty and a purpose-built learning and training facility, Queensland Ballet Academy is the ideal environment for young, academically empowered dancers to thrive.
Queensland Ballet Academy 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.
