The Australian Institute of Classical Dance was formed in 1991 by Marilyn Jones following her receipt of a prestigious Creative Arts Fellowship from the Australian Government.
The Institute is a non-profit organisation with a board composed of eminent members of the dance profession. It was set up to oversee and encourage the development of Australian classical ballet.
The Institute which has branches in Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia and NSW, also acts as an assessment body, initiates workshops, runs summer schools, conventions and seminars, arranges visits by distinguished guest teachers and offers scholarships to dancers. Since 1996, the AICD has held its Dance Creation choreographic competition every second year at the National Theatre, St Kilda.
Since its inception, the Institute has played an important and vital role in Australia’s cultural life.
