Calista Lewis

Calista was born in Melbourne and began her dance training at her local ballet school at the age of five with Kate Reilly. She joined The Australian Ballet School in 2018 and after graduating in 2023, she worked as a freelance artist and as a support worker, joining the education team at the start of 2025. Calista loves dancing the role of Alice in Paul Knobloch’s Wonderland and performing it for schools all around the country. She finds it so rewarding to inspire movement in kids of all ages, particularly when the team gets to do residencies and see so much growth in each individual over a week of working and creating together.
