THE FINEST BALLET TRAINING IN CANADA
WhO We Are
What Sets Us Apart?
We are dedicated to providing an exceptional ballet training experience rooted in the prestigious Vaganova Ballet Method. This method is globally recognized as one of the most intricate and effective approaches to ballet training, ensuring our students receive the finest education in this timeless art form.
Founder Victoria Mironova, herself a graduate of the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia, holds a teacher’s diploma (masters education) from this renowned institution. This legacy of excellence continues with our principal teacher, Ms. Elena Dmitrieva, who has also completed her studies at the Vaganova Ballet Academy, achieving a master’s diploma in teaching.
Our commitment to this method is further reinforced by our younger teachers, who have undergone training not only at the Vaganova Ballet Academy but also at the prestigious Kiev State Ballet School, another esteemed institution in the world of ballet.
With our deep-rooted knowledge and extensive background in the Vaganova Ballet Method, we possess the expertise necessary to guide our students meticulously. Our mission is to impart the most comprehensive ballet knowledge and offer the right training, nurturing their talents, and helping them realize their full potential.
