Happy Father’s Day to all our wonderful MBC and Gay Wightman School of Ballet dads. 💙

Today we celebrate the incredible dads, grandfathers and father figures behind our dancers.

Thank you for the countless drop-offs and pick-ups. Thank you for carrying dance bags, finding lost shoes, sitting through rehearsals and cheering from the audience.

Thank you for encouraging big dreams and believing in your dancers every step of the way.

Behind every young dancer is a family making it possible. Your love, patience and support mean more than you know.

And to the dads we are missing today, we remember you with love. Your influence lives on in the hearts of those who love you.

From all of us at Melbourne Ballet Company and Gay Wightman School of Ballet, we wish our beautiful dance families a very Happy Father’s Day. 🩰💙

We hope you feel especially loved and appreciated today. Special mention to my amazing dad Paul for all his incredible love, support and care and being the most incredible father and I can’t wait to see him tonight to celebrate him ❤️

Strength. Focus. Grace.
Our beautiful young ballerinas working hard on their ballet conditioning and strengthening exercises this week.
Strong dancers are built through consistent training, good technique, and attention to the little details. These exercises help develop core strength, posture, flexibility, coordination, and body awareness, creating the foundation for safe and successful ballet training.
We are so proud of the concentration, determination, and beautiful work ethic these dancers bring to every class. The future is bright for this lovely group of students.
At the Gay Wightman School of Ballet, we believe that strong foundations create confident dancers, both in the studio and on the stage.
Keep up the wonderful work, girls!
