The course focus is on technical training and artistic development, preparing students for the dance profession. Students also complete their secondary schooling, gaining the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE).
The Advanced Diploma of Dance - Elite Performance is designed to provide participants with the technical skills, artistry, theoretical knowledge and appropriate attitudes that will lead towards the establishment of a career as a classical ballet dancer. As the national training institution for the dance profession, The Australian Ballet School has a close liaison with the industry through the major performing companies around Australia and internationally.

Dance training to vocational level requires intensive physical training. Delivery is in full-time face-to-face mode only. A range of support mechanisms are available through The Australian Ballet School to maximize the opportunities for participants to complete their course successfully.

Entry criteria
Entry into The Australian Ballet School is by audition only. Entry to the Advanced Diploma of Dance - Elite Performance is generally through completion of the Diploma of Dance - Elite Performance, plus demonstration of the facility for dance (including coordination, musicality, artistry and appropriate temperament) that is required for professional performance in the field of classical ballet. However, the successful awarding of the Diploma of Dance - Elite Performance does not guarantee rite of passage into the Advanced Diploma of Dance - Elite Performance and generally successful applicants will have demonstrated these characteristics and a level of dance ability that is considered appropriate by the Director for entry into Level 7 of The Australian Ballet School’s eight-level training programme.
Consequently an applicant’s age will be taken into consideration. Generally, successful applicants will be between 17 and 19 years of age.
