About Melbourne Ballet School

Principal Michelle Johnson started dancing at age 7 and has trained in classical ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary and national folk dancing. She has over 18 years of experience teaching classical ballet and other forms of dance. The Melbourne Ballet School offers a range of classes and styles for children of all ages. We strive to teach our dancers in a way that engages their bodies, minds, and spirits by incorporating different teaching methods in all our classes – such as educational, musical, and rhythmical games, improvisation, peer interaction and artistic interpretation of literature.

Among the great strengths of the Melbourne Ballet School is the number of performance opportunities (including open days, annual concerts, Eisteddfods, state competitions and performing at the local council and school festivals and events) available to our students which develop confidence and poise as our dancers learn to perform in front of an audience.
