Dance is a form of art that takes the human body as its canvas. The period between the 16th and early 19th century was considered the golden age for ballet, with its use of complex, romantic themes. Among this Australian dance is a vibrant and diverse industry.
Australia has always had a strong tradition of dance starting with Indigenous Aboriginal cultural traditions long before Captain Cook came to Australia. Today we enjoy a wide range of dance from the classical to the contemporary across Australia. If you visit our major arts festivals, you’ll be entertained by our delightful dance companies.
