About Our Artistic Director, Marina Almayeva
Start your child's ballet training right.
It is much easier to teach a child the right way from the very beginning than to fix thousands of bad habits, many of which are really not fixable… The earlier your child starts training at the right place with a professional coach, the better.

If you are wondering what is the best age for your child to start learning ballet, the answer is “Now!” Many children begin to start learning as early as 3 years old however some don’t begin until 13 years or older. We believe it is important to start early. Bad habits, incorrect positions, and posture are very hard, often impossible to fix, so to help your child be the best dancer they can be it is important to start early with a good teacher. If your child is interested in ballet now is the time to start. To enroll contact us or register online.
At is Marina Almayeva School of Classical Ballet we put a strong emphasis on learning classical ballet technique and style. Because learning the basics of classical ballet is a critical part of the development of any young dancer, every student is required to take a certain minimum of ballet classes appropriate for her/his age group. For 2 to 4-year-old who is in pre-ballet and 5 and 6-year olds, we require 1 class but recommend 2 classes. For 7 -11 years olds in levels 3 to 5 we require 2 ballet classes a week to ensure they learn the basics of classical ballet, however, we recommend children in these levels take 3 classes per week. We suggest that children in level 4 and 5 begin taking pre-pointe classes. For those in level 6 and up we require at least 4 ballet classes per week but we encourage our students to take even more. If your child is interested in ballet now is the time to start, to enroll contact us or register online.
