Our sought-after International Summer School returns during the 2026 summer school holidays, offering a 5-day intensive of dance and ballet workshops led by world-renowned choreographers for junior to pre-professional dance students.

Over the past 19 years, thousands of students between the ages of 7–20 have completed our highly acclaimed summer program, with many returning each year – a testimony to our world-class teaching and the camaraderie the students build with each other.

The 5-day program focuses on honing technique, harnessing creativity and developing artistry and musicality with confidence.

Guest Faculty: This year, we are honoured to have Lachlan Monaghan, Principal Dancer with the Birmingham Royal Ballet and Bronte Kelly, former Principal Dancer with the Royal New Zealand Ballet join us as guest faculty – along with an exceptional returning faculty of guest teachers and choreographers, including Steve Rooks from Vassar College New York and Paul Boyd from the Queensland Ballet Academy.

Price: $650 – junior (7-10yrs)
$699 – senior (11-18yrs) / pre-professional (15-20yrs)

$50 – Teacher’s Access Day.

We encourage you to book early, as places are limited.
