Dance Australia

Welcome to Dance Australia, located at 17-21 Bellevue Street in Surry Hills, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, we are proud to offer a wide range of dance programs and events that cater to dancers of all ages and skill levels.

In collaboration with the Brisbane Festival, we are thrilled to present an immersive dance/theatre work that promises to be one of the biggest events of the festival. This premiere production showcases the talent and creativity of our dancers, providing an unforgettable experience for all who attend.

For ballet enthusiasts, we are excited to announce that The Australian Ballet will be bringing an Ashton double bill to Sydney in November. This highly anticipated performance will feature stunning choreography and exceptional talent, showcasing the beauty and grace of ballet.

If you're considering pursuing dance as a career, look no further than our 2024 Full-Time Studies Guide. This comprehensive guide, available on our website, provides valuable information on the courses we offer and how to apply. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer, our programs are designed to nurture your passion and help you reach your full potential.

We are also proud to support emerging choreographic talent through our partnership with the Stephanie Lake Company and Abbotsford Convent. This exciting collaboration brings together independent choreographers for a short season of innovative and challenging performances that push the boundaries of dance.

Under the exceptional directorship of Frances Rings, our company continues to thrive and captivate audiences with our dynamic and diverse repertoire. Our dancers, who have been trained at prestigious institutions such as Tanya Pearson Academy, Queensland College of Dance, and National College of Dance, have gone on to achieve great success in renowned ballet companies around the world.

At Dance Australia, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship with one's body. That's why we are pleased to feature Nicola Wills, a dancer with the Royal Ballet of Flanders, who shares her personal journey of overcoming eating disorders and repairing her relationship with her body. Her story serves as an inspiration to dancers everywhere.

In addition to auditions, we believe in empowering dancers to create their own job opportunities. Leila Lois, in her insightful interviews with company directors, explores the various ways dancers can break into the dance industry in 2023 and beyond.

As the colder months approach, it's important to take care of your body and avoid rushing into extreme flexibility training. Belle Beasley, our expert, provides timely advice on how to maintain a healthy and balanced approach to flexibility training.

Lastly, we would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians of the land throughout Australia. We recognize their deep connections to the land, sea, and community, and extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

At Dance Australia, we are committed to providing exceptional dance education, fostering creativity, and celebrating the diversity and talent of the Australian dance community. Join us on this incredible journey and let your passion for dance soar.
