Bring Queensland Ballet school dance workshops to your students virtually!

Online school workshops
"The Queensland Ballet Online Workshops are a wonderful tool to bring real world context into the classroom in a safe and engaging way. The combination of making and reflecting activities fits well with ACARA and the new QLD Dance Syllabus. I would highly recommend them to any dance teacher."

Queensland Ballet’s Online School Workshops are rigorously designed with the Australian Curriculum – The Arts Learning Area: Dance Subject, Senior Dance Syllabus and Early Years Learning Framework in mind, ensuring all workshops complement teaching and learning already taking place in the classroom.

Workshops are a great tool for children and teenagers to learn things like:

  • Confidence working and performing in groups 
  • Social and spatial awareness 
  • Coordination and balance

All workshops have been created and recorded by Queensland Ballet Education Teaching Artists who are passionate about putting the fun into the fundamentals of ballet, virtually visiting your school to deliver safe, educative and inclusive dance and movement experiences.

These workshops are available for kindergarten years, through to year 12, and all information is adapted to accommodate the diverse learning needs and experience levels and ages of students.

  • Available for 3 months unlimited use on Queensland Ballet's education portal via Thinkific
  • Ability to deliver the workshop package over multiple lessons for as many students and/or class groups as possible
  • Accessible and affordable offering for schools/kindergartens that provides students with a unique and valuable opportunity to engage with ballet and movement
