Our Mission

Boitsov Classical Ballet School was founded by Mme. Elizabeth Boitsov on February 11, 1980. The aim of the school is to prepare our students for professional careers in American and international ballet companies.

At a young age, students may not know if they would like to pursue ballet as a professional dancer.  Even so, there are many benefits to receiving a ballet education, no matter what age. 

The progressive, structured program allows each student to learn to strive for improvement, develop a strong work ethic, improve decision-making skills and nurture their artisic nature. Boitsov Classical Ballet School's program helps students to develop discipline, personal power, self-awareness, body awareness, self-confidence, and to develop the love and passion to achieve whatever endeavors and dreams their heart desires.

School Program

The Boitsov Classical Ballet School is a professional school of classical ballet based strictly on The Moscow Bolshoi Theatre System of training that uses the Vaganova Technique. The Boitsov Classical Ballet School offers classes for boys and girls starting from age 3 1/2. We have a separate level for each year of study.

The classes are divided into the following divisions:

Pre-Ballet: from age 3 1/2 to 6 years
Children: from age 7 to 12 years
Pre-Professional: from age 13

To become a professional ballet dancer requires very strong physical and mental preparation. Boitsov Classical Ballet's program is clearly designed to give every child an equal chance to study step-by-step Russian Classical ballet in Vaganova Technique. Vaganova Technique is the unique style of Russian ballet. This technique is practiced around the world. It is the highest standard by which a professional ballet dancer is trained.

A unique and distinctive feature of Boitsov Classical Ballet School is that the program is long-range. Students start at age 3 1/2 and finish college age as a professional ballet dancer! (See Graduations at Boitsov Classical Ballet School)
