We are SO proud of the incredible progress our PBT dancers have made this term! ❤️

Week by week, we are seeing such wonderful improvements in their strength, flexibility, control and stability.

Progressing Ballet Technique is such a valuable part of a dancer’s training. It helps our students understand how to engage the correct muscles and support their classical ballet technique.

The biggest reward is seeing that work transfer into their dancing. Stronger technique, better control, improved alignment and growing confidence.

Fantastic work, dancers! Your consistency and commitment are paying off beautifully. Keep going! We are offering a free trail in PBT next Saturday, text 0450959769 to book your trial.

Hi from Melbourne Ballet Company juniors 👋 how cute are these talented young ballerinas ❤️

We are so excited to welcome Mr Craig Burns as a special guest presenter for our VCE VET Dance students!

On Monday, September 14th, Craig will deliver a special session focused on CONFIDENCE as our dancers prepare for their final VCE VET exams.

Craig brings more than 30 years of leadership experience and over 3,000 hours of executive coaching in the dance industry.. He has worked extensively with dance studio owners, professional dancers, choreographers, students, arts leaders and teams.

This session will give our students practical tools to:

• Manage nerves and pressure
• Build genuine self-confidence
• Strengthen their mindset before exams
• Trust their preparation and training
• Walk into their final assessments believing in themselves

Dance training develops far more than technique. We want our VCE VET students to develop the mindset, resilience and confidence they can carry into every part of their future.

We cannot wait for our students to learn from Craig.

A very special opportunity for our students as they head towards their final exams. ❤️

Happy Father’s Day to all our wonderful MBC and Gay Wightman School of Ballet dads. 💙

Today we celebrate the incredible dads, grandfathers and father figures behind our dancers.

Thank you for the countless drop-offs and pick-ups. Thank you for carrying dance bags, finding lost shoes, sitting through rehearsals and cheering from the audience.

Thank you for encouraging big dreams and believing in your dancers every step of the way.

Behind every young dancer is a family making it possible. Your love, patience and support mean more than you know.

And to the dads we are missing today, we remember you with love. Your influence lives on in the hearts of those who love you.

From all of us at Melbourne Ballet Company and Gay Wightman School of Ballet, we wish our beautiful dance families a very Happy Father’s Day. 🩰💙

We hope you feel especially loved and appreciated today. Special mention to my amazing dad Paul for all his incredible love, support and care and being the most incredible father and I can’t wait to see him tonight to celebrate him ❤️
