the home and heart

of ballet

in South Australia

Adelaide Ballet Company is a platform and a pathway for ballet in South Australia.

We offer world-class training, and performance and development opportunities for elite young dancers of exceptional promise, and welcome back established Australian dancers, choreographers, and collaborators from further afield.

  • We are custodians of an extraordinary artistic lineage and champions of ballet as a living artform.

    Our approach is to honour where we came from with our eyes clearly on the future.

  • We provide professional pathways for emerging ballet dancers and continuing professional development for educators and artists.

    Our dancers have access to world class pre-professional training, support, and performance opportunities here in South Australia.

  • We commission and create new contemporary ballet works and music.

    Our work celebrates, respects, and reflects the country on which we live and create, and the stories of people who live here.

  • We aim to offer elite South Australian dancers and creatives a viable alternative to leaving the state to train and work.

    (including production staff, designers, makers, and artisans)

  • We are proud to live, work, educate, and create in South Australia.

    Contributing to its vibrancy and bright future.
