Welcome to the World of Adult Ballet

Start Ballet Anywhere in the World

Created by Adult Ballet Centre, Melbourne’s leading adult-only ballet studio.

Whether you're stepping into the studio for the first time or returning after many years, this guide has been created to support you, with clarity, encouragement, and a touch of the magic that makes ballet timeless.

Ballet isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence, posture, long-term health, inspiring music, and the joy found in movement. This guide introduces you to the beautiful language of ballet, including foundational positions, French-to-English terminology, and how a beginner ballet class is structured.

It’s been lovingly and thoughtfully developed to support your journey as an adult ballet dancer in a way that is intelligent, empowering, and completely accessible, at every step.

You’ll also receive access to a Ballet IQ video class, inspiring, inclusive, and artistic so you can begin your journey with confidence, wherever you are in the world.

You will find all this in your purchase.
