The Victoria Ballet Academy was founded in 2003 with the participation and inspiration of Mrs. Victoria Mironova (Evdokimova), M. Ed., one of the most distinguished ballet teachers in Canada. Only dance instructors of the highest caliber teach at our dance school. The school’s aim is to produce professional ballet dancers and also to use ballet, in conjunction with the many subjects studied, to produce the best possible adults, more than ready to pursue any subjects of their own choosing, at the best universities. Our superior dance program and learning environment exemplify the highest standards of ballet training offered in North America. Students are stimulated culturally and intellectually through their personal achievements, public performances, trips and competitions within Canada and abroad.
