Established by Christine Walsh AM and Ricardo Ella, Ballet Conservatoire is renowned for its strong professional ballet training, preparing dancers for ballet and dance companies worldwide.

We’re excited to unveil the new logo of Ballet Conservatoire — the Training Program of the Australian Conservatoire of Ballet. This refreshed identity represents more than just a new look; it reflects our continued leadership in shaping the future of dance with clarity, purpose, and innovation.

While embracing a bold new visual direction, Ballet Conservatoire remains deeply connected to its legacy — continuing to deliver world-class training grounded in classical tradition.

As we enter this next chapter, we’re expanding our reach, creating new opportunities, and reaffirming our commitment to nurturing the next generation of dancers with excellence, discipline, and artistry.

With gratitude for your continued support, we look forward to stepping into the future, together.
