Letter from the Director

For thousands of years the shíshálh and Skwxwú7mesh people have stewarded this land, their own (unceded) traditional territory. We are grateful to gather on these lands and waters, and we work from a place of respect and responsibility to this gift.

Waldorf Ballet has been inspiring the youth of the Sunshine Coast to become the next generation of classically trained dance professionals. From as young as 3yrs old up to our pre-professional training levels we dedicate ourselves to offering the highest caliber training.

You can recognize a dancer who has studied at Waldorf Ballet by their solid technique, artistry, and most importantly by their outlook. We strive to nurture each student’s passion to explore and develop their artistic core, leading to great performances in dance and important tools to transfer to their lives outside the studios too.

There is no better way for a dancer to discover themselves and their voice than by training with educated and experienced staff and guests, dancing across the lower mainland with their peers, and engaging the coastal community with various roles in our story ballet performances. These experiences enhance their ability to communicate with confidence through artistic expression. It is not a coincidence that our young dancers are regularly awarded scholarships, accepted to prestigious summer and year round training programs, and also embrace leadership roles in other art forms, academia, and their extended communities.

We are very grateful for your support as our audience. Every time you enjoy a performance you are encouraging these talented artists and helping ensure their brilliant futures. The Waldorf Ballet staff and students have all poured their hearts into this production and we are extremely proud to share it with you! Enjoy
