Our teaching system is mainly based on the Russian School of ballet invented by A. Vaganova and we put the prime accent onto the features of classical dance, but the elements of other European methods and teaching skills are in use well, for example, the guidelines of French School of ballet is also important for us.

Apart from the whole program of a traditional ballet education our school involves additionally a class for kids and a preliminary class where the children are trained to enter the first class of the Dance- and Balletschool. After that regular studies of classical dance (5 times a week) are followed. Training on pointe shoes begins up from the second class, other specifics of our program you can see below*.
