Seven of our talented Level 8 students recently had the extraordinary opportunity to perform in Nijinsky, one of The Australian Ballet’s most powerful and celebrated productions. Lucelle Davis, Ethan Dwyer, Thomas Jones, Stephanie McQuire, Noah Sharpe, Ruito Takabatake and Rory Taylforth took to the grand stage of Melbourne’s Regent Theatre, sharing the spotlight with the esteemed artists of The Australian Ballet. Adding to this remarkable experience, Stephanie and Lucelle will continue their journey to Sydney, performing at the iconic Sydney Opera House
This opportunity marks an incredible milestone in their training, offering them firsthand experience in the professional ballet world. Performing with The Australian Ballet not only allows our students to refine their artistry at the highest level but also strengthens the deep connection between the School and The Australian Ballet, an invaluable relationship that has nurtured generations of dancers.
