We are incredibly proud to announce that Adelaide Ballet has been invited to perform at the prestigious World Ballet Crown Grand Final Gala at The Concourse in Sydney — an extraordinary international event bringing together some of the most promising ballet artists and respected leaders in the dance world.

At just 17 years old, our emerging artist, Elia Noon has been selected to represent Adelaide Ballet on the national stage at this celebrated event.
The gala will be attended by prestigious figures in the ballet world, including internationally renowned judges and teachers such as Andrey Klemm and Chloe Leong.

This remarkable event is proudly supported by world-renowned organisations, including Le Grand Stage de Paris, The Australian Ballet School, Russian Masters Ballet Academy, Oklahoma City Ballet, Tanya Pearson Academy, among many others. As part of this exciting collaboration, Adelaide Ballet is honoured to support the event and donate two scholarships to our Summer Intensive 2027 — continuing our commitment to supporting the next generation of dancers and creating pathways for young artists to thrive.

Today, we are launching a fundraising campaign to help take Elia to this unforgettable opportunity.

To stand on a national stage at such a young age is not only a milestone for Elia, but a proud moment for South Australia and our growing ballet community.

Your support will directly assist with travel, accommodation, performance preparation and associated costs. Every dollar truly counts.

All donations are fully tax-deductible through the Australian Cultural Fund, a platform dedicated to supporting artists and creative projects across the country.

As the end of the financial year approaches, if you believe in supporting the arts, nurturing emerging talent, and investing in the future of Australian ballet, we would be deeply grateful for your support.

Last Sunday, we hosted the second edition of Adelaide Ballet Circle at our studio — an intimate and exclusive gathering with a small group of guests who came together to hear more about the vision, mission, community impact, and future we are building here in South Australia through Adelaide Ballet.
The afternoon was deeply meaningful. So much so that we became completely immersed in the conversations, connection, and sharing that we forgot to take photos to capture the event 🤦

Our emerging artist Elia Noon performed The Dying Swan and an excerpt from Murray Whispers, bringing such beauty and emotion into the room.
But perhaps the greatest highlight of the afternoon was the presence of the wonderful Ms Jane Paul — a beautiful surprise who flew all the way from Perth to attend Adelaide Ballet Circle.

Jane danced with Madame Kira Bousloff during the very first seasons of West Australian Ballet over 70 years ago. At 84 years old, and currently battling cancer, she walked into our studio and immediately our hearts connected with hers.
She shared stories, memories, and insights from those early pioneering years of ballet in Australia… and honestly, so much of what she described felt incredibly familiar to what we are experiencing now as a young independent company trying to build something meaningful from the ground up.

These words from Jane sent to us via message will stay with us forever:

“I feel honoured to have been with you today. I do understand the stresses and limitations on time and money with your young company; but if anyone can pull it off as Kira Bousloff did for WA, it will be you and your dedicated staff.
I came back to the hotel literally dancing in my head and walking on air!! For a few short hours I felt young and vibrant again - thank you. It was like going home being with lovely, warm talented people!
God bless; good luck to you all. Jane x”

And somehow, the only photo we took during the entire afternoon was with the extraordinary Ms Jane Paul herself ❤️

Moments like these remind us why we do this. Ballet is more than performance. It is legacy, connection, courage, and community.

Adelaide Ballet is collaborating with Diving Australia to deliver a ballet program for elite athletes in SA.

Classical ballet training offers significant benefits for divers, including improved alignment, core strength, balance, coordination, and body awareness. It also enhances line, control, and spatial precision—key elements in high-performance diving.

We extend our sincere thanks to all dancers who joined us for our recent Pas de Deux Masterclass.

It was a pleasure to welcome Kyle Davey from Melbourne, whose generosity in sharing his expertise, artistry, and professional insight provided an inspiring and enriching experience for South Australia’s emerging dancers.

We are proud to continue offering carefully curated masterclasses that support the development of the next generation of artists in South Australia.

Stay with us as we continue to build pathways for young dancers through future masterclasses, workshops, and our Associate Program.
