World Ballet Day

For the sixth year running, World Ballet Day will see The Australian Ballet alongside a record-breaking 31 dance companies, including The Royal Ballet and The Bolshoi Ballet, join forces in a global celebration of dance.

The Australian Ballet is holding a free event at Fed Square on Wednesday 23 October – and you’re invited!

You’ll be able to watch World Ballet Day LIVE on the big screen and watch some truly wonderful ballet performances and workshops. There’ll also be a range of free activities to take part in, with something for absolutely everyone.

Mark your calendars and pack your ballet flats; we’re looking forward to seeing you there. Take part in a class, watch a workshop or just come to bask in the excitement of World Ballet Day. It’s going to be a day to remember!
