Dancing at PSB
Ballet & Dance Training in Perth
Inspiring the dream and nurturing the passion of dance is at the heart of everything we do at The Perth School of Ballet (PSB). We believe every dancer deserves the chance to shine — whether they dream of a stage career or simply love to move.
Our mission is to provide world-class ballet and dance training in Perth, delivered in a way that is inspiring, inclusive, and accessible to all.
Founded on a deep passion for both excellence and community, PSB is a place where dancers across Western Australia are supported, encouraged, and celebrated.
From toddlers taking their first steps in dance to adults returning to ballet — whether for the first time or after many years — we welcome dancers of all ages and experience levels to our Perth studios.
We’re proud to offer a nurturing environment where students grow not only as dancers, but as confident, creative individuals. From our roots in WA to stages around the world, PSB has helped shape the journeys of dancers accepted into leading schools and companies.
But no matter how far our students go, our vision remains the same: to share the joy of dance and support every dancer’s unique path — with care, expertise, and heart.

Where technique and creativity converge
At The Perth School of Ballet, we offer high-quality dance programs across a range of styles—designed to meet international standards and tailored to every age, level, and goal.
Adult Classes
Our adult ballet classes welcome everyone—from complete beginners to experienced dancers returning to the studio.
Enjoy the physical and mental benefits of dance in a supportive, no-pressure environment. Improve strength, coordination, and wellbeing while connecting with others and developing your skills at your own pace.
No experience necessary—just a willingness to give it a go!
Ballet
For younger students
Our early ballet classes focus on creativity, musicality, and joyful movement. Through imaginative play and age-appropriate technique, children build confidence, coordination, and a love of dance from the very beginning.
For progressing dancers
As students grow, our structured syllabus—grounded in the principles of Cecchetti Ballet, with its focus on grace, balance, and line—supports the development of strong technique and expressive artistry. Dancers are guided through each stage with care, challenge, and encouragement.
Character
Character dance is a theatrical style based on traditional folk and national dances—mainly from European cultures. With adapted music and stylised movement, it’s a key part of classical ballet training and is performed by many of today’s leading ballet companies.
Our character classes are lively, expressive, and rhythmical—helping students develop coordination, musicality, and cultural awareness, while adding depth to their ballet education.
Contemporary
Contemporary dance blends classical technique with modern movement, encouraging freedom, creativity, and emotional expression. It’s an essential part of today’s dance world—performed by major ballet companies alongside traditional classical works. Our contemporary classes help students build strength, versatility, and confidence in their own unique movement style. Through expressive choreography and grounded technique, dancers explore how to connect with both music and emotion in new and meaningful ways.
Professional Training Program
Our nationally recognised Full Time and Part Time Professional Training Programs are designed for dedicated students aspiring to a career in dance. With a strong focus on technical excellence, performance, and holistic development, the program combines expert instruction with a supportive, structured environment that prepares dancers for the demands of the industry.

What our clients say
All the teachers I’ve done classes with at PSB so far have had something unique and valuable to offer students and they are all clearly very passionate about teaching. I have really enjoyed my time here so far, I feel like my technique has already improved in the last 2 weeks just from the breadth of wisdom that has been shared, and I am looking forward to doing many more classes!
SB
My daughters have been students of Perth School of Ballet for the past 12 years. The quality of teaching throughout that time has been exceptional across ballet, modern and contemporary dance. There are high standards in place and strong values which really has helped to build a healthy, supportive and positive culture. The teachers really take the time to get to know their students’ strengths, interests and goals and work with them to achieve their individual goals. We’ve made some great friendships and I really love that there is a ‘family feel’ to PSB! Some of the values and disciplines the girls have learned from their ballet, have also served them well in other areas of their life.
Sharon Gleeson
My daughter started dancing at PSB in 2013. She has had such a wonderful experience, we couldn’t imagine dancing anywhere else. She started out in Kindy Ballet and gone all the way to getting her first pair of pointe shoes this year 🙂 She loves all of her classes and has grown to be such a beautiful dancer, all due to her amazing, wonderful and supportive teachers. I would highly, highly recommend The Perth School of Ballet!
Francesca Worley
We have had the privilege of being at this school for a year now. So nice to be in a supportive nurturing environment with hands on physical feedback for our young dancer. They learn so much more than ballet. She would not be at the stage of development without them.
Michelle Reynolds
Perth School of Ballet is not only the best ballet school in Perth who’s outstanding teachers have an infinite amount of knowledge and skill, but it is also one of the nicest, warmest and most caring places I’ve ever been. They produce an outstanding standard of student whilst still giving them all time, love and attention, from the Full Time Elite level all the way to the babies.
Richard Mackenzie
The Perth School of Ballet is an incredibly support, nurturing and professional place for people of all ages to learn ballet. My daughter trained with them and is now studying at the English National Ballet School in London. The results speak for themselves! The staff at PSB have supported us all every step of the way. I would unreservedly recommend this ballet school to anyone!
