Emerging Ballet Teachers

As part of The Australian Ballet On Tour, we are inviting emerging ballet teachers to develop their skills and training by applying to take part in our 2024 Immersion Program.

The program is focussed on engaging with emerging ballet teachers throughout Australia and providing resources that can be taken back to their communities and local dance studios.

The schedule for the Immersion Program includes observing rehearsals and coaching sessions with The Australian Ballet artistic staff, development and engagement with our Artistic Health team, in addition to behind the scenes access across all our departments to gain an insight into the operations of a professional dance company.

Based at The Primrose Potter Australian Ballet Centre in Melbourne, this one-week program is an exciting opportunity to work alongside and learn from Australia’s national ballet company. The recipient will receive personalised insights into The Australian Ballet’s artistic, production and costume departments which can be tailored to their specific interests and goals.

The recipient will also be given exclusive behind the scenes access to The Australian Ballet rehearsals and coaching facilities to gain an understanding of how a professional ballet company operates.

The Immersion Program is an exciting opportunity to learn from the country’s national ballet company and share these skills with communities throughout Australia.
