Due to the standards of classical ballet around the world, these days it is imperative that students are training at an elite level and are prepared to the standards expected when coming to the auditioning stage. At The Academy we provide the training necessary for students to reach these goals. Entry to the course is by audition only and class intake is kept to a minimum to ensure students receive more intimate training.
The course is open to students in academic year 10 and above and any student wishing to continue their academics can do so by the Distance Education Program. Opportunities to study in Certificate and Diploma courses are also available on request. Classes take place approx 9am – 3pm Tuesday – Saturday with afternoon classes open to fulltime students but not compulsory.
Students are assessed twice annually by our panel of experts to evaluate the students progression. Students not meeting the standards of the course physically or attitude wise may be asked to leave the course. Those students will be eligible to re apply at the following year’s auditions.
This program has had continuous successes with students advancing on to professional schools and companies such as Australian Ballet School, Western Australian Performing Arts, Western Australian Ballet Company, Queensland Ballet Professional Year, New Zealand Ballet School, Melbourne Ballet Company, Victorian State Ballet Company, Ballet West (UK), Central Ballet School (UK), School of Washington Ballet (USA), Joffery Ballet School (USA), Ajkun Ballet Theatre (USA), Queensland Dance School of Excellence, Atlanta Ballet 2 (USA), Sorbisches National Ensemble (GER), Complexions Ballet Company (USA), Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Pre Professional (USA), and such summer programs as Rambert Ballet, The Rocks School of Ballet, The Harid Conservatory, The School of American Ballet, The American Ballet Theatre, The Bolshoi Ballet School, Princess Grace Academy, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, The Harid Conservatory and The Royal Ballet School.
