What to expect at NBS
We believe that stamina is built while keeping healthy and fit, and most importantly, students learn to express dance with feeling and heart through the inspiration of movement.
Students follow the Australian Dance Vision syllabus suited to their age group, which encompasses practical ballet technique as well as understanding anatomy, safe dance and dance history. Annual assessments are optional.
Opportunities may be offered to selected students to compete in dance eisteddfods.
Northern Ballet Studios performs a full new story-based production annually in a local theatre. Students gain skills in all aspects of production including costume, lighting, music, choreography, mime and performance. Care is taken to showcase the skills of each student, as well as offer the experience of performing as a pre-professional company.
