The Telstra Ballet Dancer Award was created in 2003 to foster young dancers in The Australian Ballet, helping them reach their full potential and truly thrive. This year, six performers, all with unique talents, were nominated for their artistic quality, powerful stage presence and contribution to The Australian Ballet.

The 2018 nominees are Corey Herbert, Lucien Xu, Jade Wood, Nathan Brook, Rina Nemoto and Brodie James.

Each of them are great artists and exciting dancers. As always, it will be a very tough process to decide the winner of this prestigious award.”
