“ The Ballet Boys Project
Free ballet classes for boys aged 11 – 14
Queensland Ballet is taking the global decline of boys in ballet and dance very seriously and is committed to changing this downward trend and addressing what is potentially a sustainability issue for our artform.  As such, we are encouraging the dance and broader community to join this movement with us to ensure the tradition of ballet – although ever evolving, lives on with strong participation from male dancers. 

As the first part of The Ballet Boys Project, we are thrilled to offer free weekly classes to boys aged 11 – 14, commencing on Monday 8 July 2024 at the homes of Queensland Ballet (West End) and Queensland Ballet Academy (Kelvin Grove).

This initiative aims to remove barriers for boys wanting to take ballet classes by offering these boys-only classes at no cost, with no uniform requirements, and no audition required. 

This is a unique opportunity to bring together boys who are enjoying ballet in the community sector, sometimes as the only boy in their class.
Students will enjoy the following benefits: 
forging friendships with other boys who dance  
focusing on male-specific ballet technique  
classes and mentoring by leading professional male teachers  
building a support network of likeminded peers   
dancing in purpose-built, professional dance studios
enjoying a safe and encouraging environment  
being inspired by witnessing older boys and men pursuing their love of ballet in our facilities”
