Early Learning & Children's Courses

Early Learning & Children's Courses

Our public Early Learning & Children’s Courses are a great way for kinder and primary school-aged children of all genders to take their first steps into classical dance and experience the magic of dance and music. These term-based courses provide a fun and informative introduction to dance and aim to instil a love of movement. 

Classes are taught by specially trained teachers in the beautiful studios of The Australian Ballet School and feature live piano accompaniment. 

No audition is required to access this public program. It is structured for fostering creativity and enjoyment through dance, and does not centre around ballet grades, formal exams or any performances.

Early Learning course enrolments are based on the child’s current age (3yrs+).

Children’s course enrolments are based on a child's current primary school year level.
