Melbourne’s
pre-professional
dance company 

Yellow Wheel

Yellow Wheel, established in Melbourne in 2012, is an Australian dance company specialising in working with young people and emerging artists. The company offers a range of programs to connecting emerging dancers with professional artists, and provides rigorous yet wholistic contemporary dance training and professional development. Yellow Wheel presents fresh, ambitious new dance works featuring the next generation of young movers, as well as supporting artists to create and present work.

Whilst acknowledging the incredible benefits dance training has to our bodies and the professional industries, we believe dance the benefits of dance extend beyond this. When an individual begins learning about their body, and their cause and effect relationship to the space and world around them, it develops empathy, awareness and understanding. Dance helps us understand our relationship to the world around us, and how we want to exist within that.

“Yellow Wheel makes me a better dancer (more on this later, perhaps), but it also makes me a better person. Or at least, it makes me want to be a better person. Every time I feel like I have taken too much of the space, I treasure the fact that people are still listening. Every time I insist on the wrong movement in a phrase, I’m glad that someone is there to prove me wrong. Every time I think I have reached something close to my potential, someone is there to amaze me.”
