The Australasian Adult Ballet Competition & Festival (AABC) is the premier event dedicated exclusively to adult ballet and contemporary dancers. It is a rare chance to perform, partisipate, learn, and connect in a community that celebrates both technical skill and expressive artistry.

Across four days you’ll experience elite masterclasses, on-stage coaching, thoughtful adjudication, and inspiring performances. Every participant - whether stepping into a studio class, performing with a group, or competing as a soloist, is recognised as part of the vibrant and resilient world of adult dance.

Our faculty and adjudicators bring extensive professional experience as performers, teachers, and mentors. Their goal is to provide feedback and encouragement that will help you progress with confidence, artistry, and inclusion in the process.

Next step: Please complete your registration below. Only the sections relevant to you are required. Once submitted, you’ll receive confirmation and, in October, the official Festival Guide with full details.

Warm regards,
Lee Harrison
