Queensland Ballet is doing it for the kids with new interactive website and program via Bigfish

Queensland Ballet has today launched a new program and website via Bigfish Digital Design and Creative Agency, that will offer kids a window into the wonderful world of ballet no matter where they live

QB Junior website has just gone live and is aimed at entertaining, educating and making sure that all Queensland children, both metro and regional, can enjoy the benefits of our state ballet company.

The wonderfully interactive website will open up Queensland Ballet through videos, photos, fun activities and competitions and sits alongside a new membership program called QB Junior Friends.

The website features bespoke illustrations throughout created especially to appeal to kids between 2 – 16 years.

Kids can explore the wonderful world of ballet by clicking through rooms in the QB Junior ‘house’ to discover engaging activities, educational components and fun things to do, all related to ballet.

For young people with a passion for dance, QB Junior and the Friends program are a unique opportunity to connect with a professional ballet company, receive access to exclusive classes and workshops, invitations to special events and be eligible for special regional travel bursaries.

Junior Friends Membership also includes a complimentary pack with a bag, t-shirt and membership bag tag.

Queensland Ballet artistic director Li Cunxin said he was proud to be offering a program especially for children.

Says Cunxin: “I was lucky enough to get my first ballet opportunity as a young child but I had little idea of what I was heading into at that stage. It’s such a gift to be able to give these children insight and special access to the beautiful art form of ballet and we’re delighted to launch this unique program.”

Throughout 2015 Queensland Ballet engaged with 80 schools and welcomed more than 22140 participants in a variety of long-term, pop-up, regional, metro activities.

Says Cunxin: “We want to inspire children with a love of dance and all that it can bring to communities and we look forward to connecting with our audiences and friends through dance in 2016.”
