Australian Conservatoire Of Ballet Melbourne

Canberra Private Schools introduces Australian Conservatoire Of Ballet Melbourne in Collingwood, for all your education and learning needs.

Established in 1991 by Christine Walsh AM and Ricardo Ella, The Australian Conservatoire of Ballet (ACB) has a well-known reputation for strong professional ballet training, with students benefiting from the most up-to-date methods in order to be fully prepared for the current requirements of dance companies worldwide.

The Australian Conservatoire of Ballet is both a classical ballet school and a training program. The creation of the ACB teacher training and assessment program (syllabus), half-day ballet/half-day academic and the full-time program, has enabled students to reach exemplary standards. The program is based of the Vaganova method, which has been adapted to suit the needs of Australian and international students attending academic day schools. Over 200 teachers now teach this program in schools across Australia, the Philippines, Japan and Hong Kong.

The school is continuing to enjoy the recognition of its training in classical ballet by the international dance community.

A number of academic schools in Melbourne now participate with the ACB to facilitate the students undertaking their academic studies on a half-day basis devoting the other half of the day to their ballet studies at the ACB's new premises in Richmond.
