Ballet buddies

For dance teachers

This programme invites dance studios to become a ‘Ballet Buddy’ with a company dancer. Ballet Buddies provides your students with an exciting link to one of The Australian Ballet’s professional dancers. Participating studios will be presented with a glossy photo of their chosen dancer, a biography, and a list of roles that will be danced in the coming seasons. The students of the school will also be encouraged to write to their buddy, and when possible, to meet with them for a brief question and answer chat after attended performances.
