We congratulate and salute our 2020 graduates who have worked so hard and diligently over the years to achieve their amazing goals. We farewell some of them this weekend who are safely permitted to travel to their next destination and commence their training overseas. Others have to postpone their departure date until things are safer, however we love having them remain with us as long as they need to! We wish you all so much success and fulfilment in this next stage of your careers, wherever you are in the world! Enormous thanks and credit to all our fulltime faculty.

We are so proud of the way these young artists have kept up their focus, their drive and passion and shown such resilience through these times.

It is with great sadness that we farewell our beloved Brian Lynch. Teacher, colleague and friend to so many of us here at TPA as well as long standing Guest Artist with the Sydney City Ballet.

Brian began his ballet training and professional ballet career in Germany performing in both classical and contemporary companies. He relocated to Australia and joined Australian Opera Dance Company as well as gaining his teaching qualifications and commencing his teaching career.

Brian’s passion and love for teaching, his generosity, positive personality and witty sense of humour will be greatly missed.

Brian we salute you and toast to you with a good German bier! Much love.

It is lovely to be able to open the doors of our studios to many of our graduates who are back in Oz for time being during COVID. We welcome @grace.carroll who is working hard and staying focused here at TPA before she sets off for the Royal Ballet School later this year. Here is a special memory of Grace performing Giselle (partnered by @michael_j_braun ) with the @sydneycityballet whilst in her pre professional year with the @tanya_pearson_academy .

The most exciting day today welcoming back our full-time and part-time students to the studio!!! The energy and enthusiasm in the studio was incredible. Such a joy to start seeing all our students return this week after months of shutdown. Staying connected by zoom has been great but nothing compares to being back in the studio again.

Huge congratulations to TPA graduate @ballerina.ge

Huge congratulations to TPA graduate @ballerina.georgia who has been offered a position as Trainee with @joffreyacademy Chicago. Georgia graduated from the TPA fulltime Academy in 2019 to join @joffreyacademy Chicago which she has embraced and gained from so much. It is exciting watching Georgia’s journey in the USA. Sadly she was unable to perform Giselle with the Academy as their end of year performance due to COVID but she is very keen to get back working with the school and Company as soon as possible. .

We have been keeping our students busy and engaged

We have been keeping our students busy and engaged the best we can whilst in isolation, offering a comprehensive range of ballet, conditioning and fitness classes which they have been gaining from. Our full-time students have also been kept busy and inspired with our Online Lecture Series. We thank Deb Wright from @kineticaphysio for delivering a comprehensive series on Anatomy over the past few weeks. These next few weeks we welcome Emma Burden of @ideal_eats_dietitian who is helping our students achieve their nutrition goals the ideal and healthy way. The students are gaining so much from these sessions and we thank you! .

"On returning to Australia I feel like I’m a completely different person, with different views on life and myself.

This trip taught me so much about myself, the ballet world, budgeting, travelling and knowing how to pick myself up after things didn’t go as planned – may that be trains that get delayed, maps not working or a virus turning the world upside-down.
I can truly say after this trip, I feel confident to face anything in life." Mackeely Foster, 2018 BBM Ballet Scholar.
