We’re excited to share a positive step forward for Queensland Ballet’s future 🩰

From 2027, our Academy training will be united at the Thomas Dixon Centre, creating a single home for young dancers as they progress from early training into professional life with Queensland Ballet.

By bringing our Academy under the same roof as the Company, we’re strengthening the connection between training and Company life — supporting strong artistic outcomes, and student wellbeing in line with leading international practice.

Thank you to our wider dance community for your ongoing support as we continue to nurture the next generation of artists.
