Queensland Ballet - Ballet for Adults and Active Seniors

A ballet and repertoire class for adults and active seniors familiar with basic ballet concepts.
Ballet for Adults and Active Seniors is a ballet and repertoire class designed for adults and seniors who have some prior ballet experience (whether recent or many years ago) and are ready to re-engage with dance classes in a supportive, appropriately paced environment.

These classes build on foundational ballet technique and terminology, offering a structured yet adaptable approach to barre, centre work and repertoire. Queensland Ballet Teaching Artists will guide participants with layered-level options to allow all to recall and build on knowledge, refine technique, focus on strength and mobility, and reconnect with the musicality and artistry of ballet.
