You will get a certificate of finishing the seminar, stating that you advanced your level of qualification in ballet dancing skills. After ballet lessons in Moscow, all students will have an open ballet class as a small final performance to show how they have learned ballet throughout the camping period. Russian Ballet Camp also presents opportunity for accompany as student relative to visit as well and they will have the same privileges as dance camp students, including transportation and excursions.

Education program for ballet teachers

Teachers of any school of ballet can attend our ballet intensive as teacher-student to get a higher qualification of education in ballet, pointe, character dance and others classes. The main point of this program is so teachers-student would be able to learn more about ballet through working themselves like a student. They can be trained in everything: how to hold the arm, how to make turns, how to make a jump, how to create a ballet class with special training and others, all of which help them become a ballet teacher with higher qualifications. These are GITIS methods which all Russian ballet teachers should have passed to have a certificate for teaching ballet. At the end of the program, each teacher-student will receive a certificate of finishing a Ballet Teacher Seminar with a special note from GITIS, which will allow the teacher-student to attend a full course of Ballet Choreography and Teaching in GITIS.

The goal of our ballet program is – to learn Russian ballet techniques in its native environment.
