About

Queensland Ballet is a vibrant, creative company which connects people and dance across Queensland. We offer a program of world-class productions of the best classical ballets and inspired contemporary dance works. The Company engages renowned choreographers and designers from around the world and nurtures emerging local talent by presenting exciting new works in an intimate studio series. With a culture of creativity and collaboration, complemented by an active program of engagement with our communities, Queensland Ballet has become the central hub for dance in the State. Our dancers are acclaimed for their technical excellence and versatility, and our annual program offers diversity in style, audience focus and geographic reach, with up to 100 performances in Brisbane and tours to regional Queensland.

Since 1991, Queensland Ballet’s home has been the historic Thomas Dixon Centre in Brisbane’s West End. As we enter the next stage of our journey as a global ballet company, we are undertaking a significant redevelopment of the Thomas Dixon Centre site, to be completed in October 2020.

Queensland Ballet has temporarily relocated to a home away from home at 34 Beesley Street, West End, in facilities that allow the Company to continue to offer a full range of training and community access programs, including public dance classes.

Developing the artists of the future is central to Queensland Ballet’s strategic vision. Our Academy aims is to provide a clear career pathway and to produce young dancers whose talents and abilities are in demand throughout Australia and internationally. The Academy offers world-class training programs for gifted students from 11 years of age.

Queensland Ballet is dedicated to the pursuit of artistic excellence, dance education and innovative presentation of classical repertoire. With bold and confident ambitions for the future, we proudly build upon the legacy of many creative and gifted artists who have been part of the Company’s rich history since 1960. 

Queensland Ballet has two membership groups: Queensland Ballet Friends, a fundraising and social group, whose members enjoy a range of benefits and opportunities to engage with the Company; and Queensland Ballet Company Members, as prescribed in the Queensland Ballet Constitution. Company Members do not receive any tangible benefits apart from the right to vote at the Queensland Ballet AGM.
