Queensland Ballet Academy Awards


In 2022, Queensland Ballet Academy introduced annual awards to acknowledge and celebrate our students who achieved the highest examination results in classical ballet, contemporary dance and overall, across all core subjects, in the Upper School, Lower School and Pre-Professional Program cohorts.

Awards

Established in 2015, the Francois Klaus & Robyn White Award acknowledges the highest achieving Pre-Professional Program dancer across all core subjects.


This award is enabled by the Queensland Ballet Friends and honours the contribution of former Artistic Director and Associate of Queensland Ballet, François Klaus and Robyn White.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and perform. Long before we performed on this land, it played host to the dance expression of our First Peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders — past, present and emerging — and acknowledge the valuable contribution they have made and continue to make to the cultural landscape of this country.
