Join Queensland Ballet for ‘Rise and Shine’ on the Kite Terrace

Start your day off with a gentle yet invigorating movement workshop with sweeping views of the Brisbane skyline on 5 February 2026 at 7 am with Queensland Ballet’s Rise and Shine workshop.

Join Queensland Ballet for a 45-minute workshop on the Thomas Dixon Centre’s Kite Terrace to wake-up your bodies and mind with movement. In this energising session, a skilled Queensland Ballet Teaching Artist will take you through a combination of adapted exercises influenced by dance, yoga, and body conditioning. You’ll walk away from the session feeling grounded and connected to your bodies, and ready to start your day with a spring in your step.

This workshop is designed for active adults of all ages and is a mat-based class; participants will flow between seated, kneeling and standing postures throughout. Queensland Ballet highly recommends that you bring your own mat from home for your personal comfort; a limited number of yoga mats will be available for use for those participants who do not own a mat.

Following your class, unwind with your pre-ordered drink, delivered straight from Tom’s Kitchen Café to the Kite Terrace. Stay a while to savour the view and enjoy good company as you round off your morning.

Total duration of Rise and Shine is 1 hour and 15 minutes. The workshop begins at 7 am for 45 minutes, and is followed by a half hour social gathering.

Cost to attend is $25 and includes a beverage of your choice. You will select a preferred drink from the list when purchasing your ticket. Book now.
