La Trobe's partnership with The Australian Ballet
Optimising dancer performance and health
What happens when Australia's most renowned ballet company joins forces with a university known for excellence in research and learning experiences? A multifaceted partnership that's making gravity-defying leaps in the realms of sport, art and education.
Our partnership unites La Trobe University’s world-class sports and exercise medicine researchers with The Australian Ballet’s internationally respected injury prevention and rehabilitation team to optimise dancer performance and health.
La Trobe and The Australian Ballet have informally collaborated on research since 2015 and we officially partnered in 2017. View some of our collaborative research projects, like our latest Swan Lake Achilles tendon study.
