Enrollment

SCBA classes are traditionally smaller so that students can benefit from individual attention. Ballet classes are taught in the classical Vaganova method, and in three Divisions that encompass all age levels. Each student is placed in the class and level most appropriate for his/her development.

Faculty

All faculty members are experienced professionals and under the artistic direction of     Janna Kirova and Boris Cheplev. International guest teachers and choreographers from RUSSIA, GERMANY and USA assist with Workshops and Master Classes.
