CLASSICAL BALLET

Stepanova Ballet Academy classical ballet program is for children with an interest in dance or students who dream of a life as a ballet dancer. Our program is based on the Vaganova Method of training, where students receive a comprehensive dance education in a nurturing, well rounded environment. Highly qualified instructors work with each dancer in a step-by-step approach instilling the solid foundations of classical ballet, along with character building qualities such as focus, a strong work ethic, determination, and self esteem.

OVERVIEW

Ballet classes are offered for ages 3 and up. Students are placed in their respective ballet levels based on a variety of factors. Classical ballet program begins with the joy of moving to music, and is supported with a foundation in classical technique and instructions in basic ballet terminology. Students progress through training stages designed to increase technical skills, stamina, and disciple in accordance with the students’ age and physical development.

Pointe work for girls is introduced when the students are physically ready.

As students master each level and progress to the next, classes become increasingly challenging and incorporate, repertoire/pointe, character dance, contemporary dance, conditioning, and musicality.

Aglaia Yasnogorodska, Alumni
Each class she challenged me to overstep my boundaries to become a better dancer, and overall a better student. Stepanova Ballet Academy is no ordinary ballet school. It is a place students are given the highest quality of instruction, and learn to appreciate the magnificent art of dance.
Katia Gromyko, Alumni
Tatiana is woman, teacher, mentor, and professional of uncommon skill and ability. My daughter has danced with her for years, first seasonally as a comp dancer and recently as a full time dancer. It is hard to express how fortunate we feel to have her and her academy to train at/with. I do not believe there is another GTA studio that enables the dancers to be trained at a world class level, and in such a positive, professional and healthy manner. Thank you beyond.
