24.01.2022 Join us on Saturday at 4.00pm for Christmas in July, The Nutcracker! Queensland Ballet #9News

24.01.2022 I can’t wait to see this beautiful dancer, a distant but treasured friend, featured in the fantastic online showcase.

24.01.2022 It is with deep sadness that we announce the closure of all Empire performances until the 30th of April. Our upcoming production of Aladdin will be postponed until 18th-19th December. Please have patience with Box Office staff at the Empire as they work tirelessly to ensure all tickets are refunded or transferred. We look forward to seeing you on stage again in December!

23.01.2022 Happiness courtesy of Tinkerbell! Oh, how we can't wait to get back into rehearsal -- a crowded studio filled with dancers and magic moments. Watch as princip...al dancer Melissa Gelfin rehearses her role as Tinkerbell for our 2018-2019 Season production of Septime Webre's Peter Pan. Wait until the end for the last arabesque turn. It 's so worth it! See more

23.01.2022 For less than the cost of a takeaway coffee you can support small business and the arts! Our 2018 production of Cinderella is now on Vimeo! Who was your favourite character?

22.01.2022 . REBORN . When the world of Performing Arts returns in its entirety, what will that look like? What will the theatres produce? What do the audience want to s...ee? . Of course Ballet and Dance Companies will continue to perform many of the much loved Classics and 20th Century Masterpieces, but what is it that today’s audiences are searching for across the Cultural Landscape? How will Dance best serve, respect and further the Artform but also engage, inspire and react to society? . So many questions, yet so many opportunities lie ahead..... What are your thoughts? . . . . . Video from Sir Frederick Ashton’s RHAPSODY that I filmed alongside @natalia_osipova_official at the @royaloperahouse - I love the shear simplicity in that this piece entertains, marries Music with Dance, and allows any audience to connect through a thrilling display of what the human body can express without words . #stevenmcrae #maledancer #royalballet #royaloperahouse #ballet #dance #dancer #art #arts #performingarts #stage #inspiration #motivation #determination #performance #thrill #question #future #forwardthinking #evolve #society #culture See more

19.01.2022 A massive thank you to the wonderful Dance Exposure for capturing our costumes and rehearsal today! We love having you again, and cant wait to see the amazing photos! Pictured: Sophia Gougoulas (Danzart) as the Phoenix in Aladdin

19.01.2022 Last night should have been full of final packing and checking everything is in order to bump in to the theatre today. Instead the studio and theatre are collecting dust, the costumes are packed away, incomplete, and the music, choreography and stories remain unfinished. Normally in the weeks (months!) leading up to the big day, I have vivid nightmares every night about the upcoming show. I haven’t dreamt about Aladdin since I cancelled photo day. Today, instead of opening n...ight at the Empire Theatre, I’m working on the family farm, cleaning pecan kernel along a conveyor belt. I am grateful to have any work at all during this time, even if it is not what I imagined I would be doing today. I can’t wait to see you all again, to remember the dances and moments and pick up where we left off. It won’t be exactly the same, some faces may not be with us, but the show will go on and it will be amazing. Until then, #stayhome so we can dance together again soon.

18.01.2022 Behind the scenes at our final Aladdin rehearsal before bump in to the Empire Theatre! Fantastic seats for under $30 are still available at www.empiretheatre.com.au

I look foward to seeing you all finally take the stage in Aladdin, and am so excited to see many of you again next year for ALICE! - Miss Mia

15.01.2022 Here in the Ausdance QLD office, we’re acutely aware of the timeliness of the need to ask R U OK? Covid-19 has made it much harder for members of our dance c...ommunity to deliver their usual offerings and almost impossible to receive the usual appreciative response. And let’s face it, that’s like having your reason for living taken away from you! This short blog (https://www.mindwise.org//menta/dancing-and-mental-health/) on the benefits of dance to our mental health spells out what we have all been missing. CHANGE has been a huge part of everyone’s experience this year, and the extent of that change puts stress on our wellbeing. Take time out for yourself today; call colleagues and friends to ask R U OK? Acknowledge and appreciate all the ways you’ve coped with the stresses of this year, all the ways you have sought help and all the creative choices you’ve made to make to keep moving. Acknowledge yourself for getting this far! Please have the courage to speak with a professional counsellor if the stress is overwhelming. Go well.

10.01.2022 A COVID Safe Industry Plan for Dance and Performance had been APPROVED with thanks to the amazing volunteers at Ausdance Queensland who have clearly worked tirelessly to make this happen. Thanks to your efforts, Qld dance studios can now recommence with more reasonable restrictions which could mean the difference which allows many studios to continue dancing. With so much gratitude and respect for your amazing work, thank you. With love, from all the TBT family

10.01.2022 This advert really hits the mark. We know the heart wrenching feeling of having our show canned in 2020, but are so excited to be able to perform Aladdin this December! #theshowwillgoon

09.01.2022 Congratulations to all the dancers on a fantastic opening night! Tickets to today’s matinees are still available at the door or at www.empiretheatre.com.au Be sure to snap a photo with the amazing lead characters after the show!

09.01.2022 Congratulations Jaimee, Brianna and Faith!

09.01.2022 In theatre we have a tradition- whenever the theatre is empty we are always sure to leave one light on. Typically on a stand in the center of the stage, this light is known as the ghost light. There are many stories about its origin- but it’s meaning is unmistakable. It means though the theatre is empty, WE WILL RETURN. So here’s to us. The actors, the technicians, the directors, the carpenters, the designers, the dancers, the teachers, the students, the freelancers, those o...n tour, those at sea, the electricians, the stitchers, the makers, the stage managers.... THE ARTISTS. Many of us have taken big hits during this virus. Financial and emotional weights have come crashing down as our entire industry is reduced to nothing but a bunch of ghost lights. But those ghost lights are temporary place holders. They are a sign. We might be down now- but our passion, our creativity, our drive is still center stage. We’ll be unplugging those ghost lights in no time. Until then- here’s a ghost light- to let the world know we will be back. See more

08.01.2022 Fantastic news congratulations Camilla!!

07.01.2022 In this video, Mme. Canterna shares her experience on how her heightened coordination set her apart from others as a professional dancer. She emphasizes that t...he quick connection between mind and body is essential and it is much more important than physical attributes such as hyper extended legs or flexibility. Hope that helps!

06.01.2022 *** CURRENT ADVICE FOR DANCE STUDIOS *** As you are aware some students will be going back to schools in Queensland next week, this has prompted Dance Studio Ow...ners to ask if they can start dance classes for these age groups. The current advice is that private dance studios still need to fall in line with the federal government’s advice around indoor sports centres and gyms and remain shut, but rest assured Ausdance QLD (and the Ausdance network around Australia) is working hard with State governments to get us all back to work safely as soon as practical. Stay up to date with sector specific advice by joining Ausdance QLD (it's free). Real-time advice is distributed and available to members as advice changes. https://ausdanceqld.org.au/

05.01.2022 In March our April production of Aladdin at the Empire was closed down due to covid. 8 months later our cast of 70 dancers from Qld and Nsw have reunited at last to pick up where we left off! Here’s a tiny peek into the studios from our massive weekend of rehearsals!

01.01.2022 Cirque du Soleil has fallen victim to COVID-19 this week. Queenslanders were some of the thousands of performers who lost their jobs when the company filed for bankruptcy protection. Now they are forced to look outside their industry for work. www.7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS
