To celebrate The Australian Ballet On Tour in Ballarat, you’re invited to participate in a dance workshop inspired by classical favourites and exciting new works.

These workshops are led by staff from The Australian Ballet Education and Outreach team and are designed to be inclusive and accessible to all, regardless of learning style or physical ability. No prior dance experience is required.
