In 2007 Ivan Cavallari was appointed artistic director and efforts started to be made to greatly increase the facilities and size of the company. By 2012 West Australian Ballet had moved into the new West Australian Ballet Centre and increased the company from 19 full-time dancers to 32, enabling it to perform the best of classical repertoire including the highly acclaimed "Onegin" (2013). Other major productions included Marcia Haydee's "The Sleeping Beauty" (marking WAB's debut at The Burswood Theatre and having a cast of over 80), "Gala" (with guest principal artists from The Royal Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet and The Australian Ballet) and John Cranko's "The Taming of the Shrew".
