FACULTY ANNOUNCEMENT 🩰✨

We are so thrilled to announce another incredible addition to the QNB faculty — Rafaela Morel Rafaela Morel 🇧🇷🇦🇺

Brazilian-trained, Rafaela is a professional ballet dancer, ballet teacher and yoga instructor with more than 14 years of professional performance experience.
Rafaela trained at the prestigious Bolshoi Theatre School in Brazil, completing a Technician in Classical Dance qualification through intensive Vaganova based Russian ballet training.

Her professional career began with the Young Company of the Bolshoi Theatre School before taking her internationally to established ballet organisations across Russia, including the State Primorsky Opera and Ballet Theatre, Mariinsky Theatre – Primorsky Branch, and Ural Opera and Ballet Theatre, where she was promoted to Soloist. She later continued her career as a Soloist with Astana Ballet in Kazakhstan.

We are incredibly excited to have Rafaela bring her extensive professional stage experience, beautiful classical training and international knowledge into the studios at QNB.

Welcome to the QNB faculty, Rafaela! 🤍🩰

We love celebrating our students’ progress — the everyday hard work, dedication and constant drive to keep improving. 🩰✨

How beautiful is Violet, 12, part of our Certificate IV in Dance (Elite Stream), working on her Kitri Act III Variation.

Violet, your consistent work ethic, determination and drive are showing in your results. The improvement you have made is remarkable, and it is a reflection of the work you continue to put in every single day.

We are incredibly proud of you, Violet. Keep pushing, keep growing and keep believing in the process. 🤍

Our Extension Programs are designed for aspiring young dancers aged 8–17 years, with three progressive levels held after school. They provide focused, structured training in an environment where students are surrounded by like-minded dancers who share their passion and aspirations, all based on the Russian Vaganova Method of Classical Ballet.

Beginning with our Junior Extension Program, we focus on developing strong foundations — understanding the body, building connections, coordination and movement pathways. At this age, learning comes through repetition, repetition, repetition.

Corrections are gentle but consistent, with regular reinforcement from the teacher helping students develop muscle memory, body awareness and confidence. As dancers progress through the three levels, they become increasingly independent, learning to apply corrections and take greater ownership of their training.

It is a clear pathway for young dancers who want to train with greater focus and purpose.

✨ OFFICIAL LAUNCH ✨

We are so incredibly proud to officially unveil our beautiful new QNB uniform range (leotard, skirt with matching bow), created in collaboration with the incredible Alcie May. đź©°

Months in the making, every detail of this collection has been carefully considered — from the design and fit to the exceptional quality and finish.

We are so thankful to the Alcie May team, who have been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout this entire journey. At QNB, it is incredibly important to us to align ourselves with businesses whose integrity, values and commitment to excellence reflect our own — and this collaboration has been exactly that.

Australian made and Australian owned, this is without question the highest-quality uniform range we have ever offered our dancers, and we could not be happier with the final result.
Beautifully designed. Exceptional quality. Made for our dancers. 🤍

After months of planning, designing and perfecting, we are so excited to finally say…

Our new QNB uniform range has officially arrived. 🩰✨

Thank you, Alcie May, for bringing our vision to life.

Repetition. Consistency. Progress.

Three words that define the journey of a dancer. đź©°

Our gorgeous Solara working on refining her Harlequinade solo.

Training is never about getting it perfect the first time. It’s about showing up, doing the work, repeating it again and again, and allowing every correction to shape you.

Repetition builds strength.
Consistency builds technique.
Progress builds dancers.
