About Minnesota Ballet Theatre & School
Minnesota Ballet Theatre & School offers a classical ballet program that provides preparatory and systematic ballet training using the Vaganova Syllabus. The non-profit 501(c)(3) performing arts-educational dance company aims to provide culture, music, and dance education for the Twin Cities area, with the intent to prepare dancers of all ages to perform in professional productions of classical ballet, contemporary, and modern repertoire. The school is praised for its expert and consistent instruction, which is suitable for adult ballet students wanting to train their body and mind. Students appreciate the laid-back yet challenging classes, the instructor's encouragement and sense of humor, and the welcoming, friendly, and positive environment. The Vaganova method is particularly appreciated for the exercises of introspection and body awareness it provides to adult learners.
This is the best way to learn and enjoy vagonova ballet for adult ballet students. Expert and consistent instruction is provided for anyone wanting to train the body and mind.As studio dancer for over 5 decades, and under this instruction for over 2 years, I can see that Minnesota Ballet always strives to meet the standard of excellence at every level of instruction.
I thoroughly enjoy taking adult ballet classes with Kirill. He encourages students to ask questions, has a wonderful sense of humor, and possesses endless knowledge regarding technique. Students are welcoming, friendly, and positive. I have always appreciated the exercises of introspection and body awareness in dance, so it's marvelous to be able to practice the Vaganova method as an adult. I look forward to many more classes!
Enrolling my daughter in the ballet school was one of the best decisions I ever made. Witnessing her transformation from a shy, uncoordinated beginner to a confident, skilled dancer has been truly inspiring. The school's dedication to nurturing her talent and building her confidence shines through in every graceful movement. I am immensely proud and incredibly thankful for the positive impact they've had on her journey. ✨
