The company performs with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra.[4] At present the company consists of 34 full-time dancers and six 'Young Artists' (a full-time year-long development programme), structured since 2014 with Principal Dancers, Soloists, Demi-Soloists and Corps de Ballet.[5] WAB performs three to four major seasons in Perth a year, one at The Quarry Amphitheatre in City Beach[6] the others usually at His Majesty's Theatre, Perth[4] and Heath Ledger Theatre (although Burswood Theatre and Regal Theatre have also played hosts). They also tour throughout regional Western Australia, nationally and internationally, and provide choreographic workshops, an education program and other community activities.[7]
