Exceptional young dancers bring classical elegance and bold contemporary expression together in a vibrant, compelling performance.

Experience The Australian Ballet School’s Winter Season, a vibrant program where exceptional pre‑professional dancers from the School’s most senior levels command the stage.

This dynamic mixed program blends classical elegance with contemporary innovation. It opens with a striking défilé that highlights the artistry, cohesion and discipline of the School’s most advanced dancers. Audiences will enjoy classical ballet alongside two works by Lucas Jervies—one created in collaboration with the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) and another recently premiered by West Australian Ballet—plus new choreography from Stephen Baynes and The Australian Ballet’s Mason Lovegrove.

Be thrilled by a repertoire bursting with energy as these young and pre‑professional dancers bring each piece to life. From bold contemporary expression to the clean lines and precision of classical technique, Winter Season offers a compelling glimpse into the future of ballet — a performance not to be missed.
