Vision

We are devoted to dance, a unique art form, which promotes creative expression and embodies dramatic sensibilities. Dance has no boundaries with regard to culture, race, sex, or social status and, therefore, is accessible to all.

Mission

KBA offers Pre-professional ballet training to dedicated talented young people ages 10-19 in an inspirational environment. We aim to provide students with a rich knowledge of classical technique and the ability to adapt to all styles and techniques of dance. With a hands on approach and individual attention we are dedicating ourselves to our students and helping them to discover the wonderful world of dance. Our high caliber professional training will give you the skills to succeed in a very competitive field!                 

Curriculum

KBA curriculum is based on the American Ballet Theater National Training Curriculum, which combines elements of the classic French, Italian and Russian schools of training. Its principals promote a pure and strong ballet technique with an individual artistic expression.

Our beloved teachers have been a major source of inspiration over the years. Passing on traditions that we have been first experienced and worked personally with such big names like Legendary Natalia Dudinskaia, Irina Kolpakova last student of Vaganova who was a Star of the Kirov Ballet -presently coaching principal dancers at ABT, Legendary Sergei Berejnoi Star of the Kirov Ballet former coach at the Boston Ballet, and Tatiana Terekhova a Ballet Star of the Kirov and outstanding coach at Mariinsky Ballet now!

We hope to continue that traditions and play a major role in the lives and successful careers of our students.

We envision an academy where young students are trained to perform both the classical and modern repertory under the guidance of the best ballet teachers today!
