Russian Ballet Academy

Our programs are based on the 8 levels of the Vaganova method, with clear progression, a comprehensive syllabus and exams. The Vaganova method is one of the strongest training pedagogies in professional ballet, and we believe that it truly brings out the best in dancers - in technique, artistry and performance. 

​

Our group classes welcome all students from age 4 and up. Our Aspire pre-professional program selects students from existing group classes and we work with them for competitions and preparing them for a professional ballet future.
