24.01.2022 The faces behind GBC Abbey goes above and beyond and always puts her hand up for any opportunity that arises. Her extensive knowledge of classical ballet and contemporary show how truly talented she is as a teacher. Abbey is a graduate of the Australian Ballet School, a former dancer with The Australian Ballet Dancers Company and is someone who inspires her students to extend themselves and reach for their goals.

Two levels allows our students to work at a pace that is age and ability appropriate while always being pushed and inspired. Both levels love the challenge of learning repertoire from famous ballets and having the opportunity to do weekly open ballet classes to supplement their exam training. . .... . . #sunday #balletteacher #zoom #repertoire #love #balletclass #balletbarre #move #dancing #ballet #classicalballet #danceonzoom #balletdancer #dancer #seniorballet #danceteacher #thankyou #dance #technique #ballerina #levels #iso See more

19.01.2022 Team Work Dance can often be seen as quite a personal and solitary art form, but while our dancers are learning new choreography we love to see how they come together as a team. We see them help each other with new steps and challenging combinations. We see them encourage each other on the side and applaud the greater accomplishment. Watching the dance piece come together is a celebration of our dancers hard work and we couldn’t be prouder. .... . . #troupe #balletpost #ballet #audition #balletgeelong #geelongdance #talent #geelong #competition #2021 #geelongballetcentre #ballerina #teamwork #dancer #balletteacher #proudteacher #melbourne #performer #solo #dancegeelong #proud
