Open Masterclasses
Open Masterclasses provide students aged 9 - 17 years the exclusive opportunity to work with some of Australia’s leading dance teachers and experience the high level of expertise on offer at Australia’s national centre of excellence in dance training.
Open Masterclasses run for approximately 1.5 hours and are held in major Australian capital cities every year.
All students are welcome to enrol, regardless of previous dance experience. As there are limited places available for this popular program, early application is advised.
We structure fun and informative sessions led by specialist teachers from the School, The Australian Ballet, and the wider dance community. Many of our masterclasses are accompanied by specialist ballet pianists, providing students with the benefits of learning with live music.
