The Australian Ballet School is filled with joy as we reflect on the tremendous return of our recent Scholarship Awards, held for the first time since 2018.
Over three days, young dancers were immersed in intensive masterclasses led by our exceptional artistic staff and, with each class, explored their artistic and technical abilities. The culmination of their hard work and dedication was showcased as they performed their solos on the grand stage of the State Theatre at Arts Centre Melbourne. Congratulations and thank you to all our participants, and to every parent, carer and dance teacher for supporting these young dancers.
A big congratulations to our Scholarship Awards 2023 prize winners!
