Upcoming events

Dedicated to the tradition of ballet & artistic expression of dance.


Founded in 2004, Brisbane City Youth Ballet (BCYB) provides aspiring young dancers with performance opportunities and coaching up to a pre-professional level.

Performing twice a year to sold out audiences, each season sees story ballets come to life with astonishing sets and costumes in theatres such as the Brisbane Powerhouse, Griffith University’s Conservatorium Theatre in South Bank, and the Home of the Arts on the Gold Coast.

The company is committed to fostering the development of strong classical ballet technique with an emphasis on musicality and artistry. BCYB fosters the love of classical ballet through the thrill of live performance and nurtures friendships that last a lifetime.

From the studio to the stage, BCYB provides dancers as young as 7 years through to pre-professional with both workshop and performance opportunities.
