The Kim Baker Ballet Academy offers an Elite Specialist Course designed for the talented and dedicated dancer. Entry to this course is via audition for applicants from 8 - 18 years of age.

The Elite Specialist Course teaches the Vaganova method of ballet, a precise technique and system of instruction. The Vaganova syllabus is considered one of the finest syllabus for Classical Ballet. Tenets of the Vaganova method include the development of lower back strength and arm plasticity, and the requisite strength, flexibility and endurance for ballet.

Each Elite Specialist student is personally trained by Kim Baker, one of Perth's finest teachers of dance. The comprehensive dance curriculum includes:

1. Classical Tuition
2. Contemporary Tuition
3. Character Dance
4. Theory
5. Drama
6. Repertoire and Production
7. Performance

At the completion of the Year 12 Elite Specialist Course, students are taken on an audition tour of Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and Perth to audition for diploma courses which then enable the students to audition for dance institutes and companies in Australia and throughout the world.
