Performing with The NSW Ballet School
Students are given the opportunity to perform with The NSW Ballet School.
Demonstration Day
Each mid year the School holds demonstration days for parents. These open classes are for students to demonstrate their examination work, and as parents are not normally permitted to watch classes, this is an ideal opportunity for them to view their child's progress.
Annual Performance
All Junior & Senior dance students (Classical Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical/Contemporary) participate in a major annual performance. These productions are an adaptation of a full-length ballet. Full costumes, props and scenery are used. Students attending our Half Course Program will perform in one ACT only and get the opportunity to watch the remainder of the Performance free of charge, and students attending our Full Course Program will perform in two ACTs of the Performance along with our Jazz and Lyrical/Contemporary students.
Annual Performance Compulsory Rehearsals- Junior and Senior Annual Performance Students are required to attend the three compulsory Annual Performance Rehearsals in Term 3, prior to the Annual Performance.
