We are very glad to announce that we at the YAGP will be starting a new journey with Ballet Search! We will be bringing you some interesting educational materials – from videos to conversations – all things ballet and education. You are also welcome to send me any questions or topics that you think would be interesting, and I will be happy to address them in our next chat.
Our first topic will be the Bolshoi Ballet Academy. We are proud to share an exclusive look into the training at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy that they shared with us earlier this year! The Bolshoi Ballet Academy is actually my alma mater, and I am so excited to share this inside look with you.
We are sending you 2 videos from the Academy, so you can see the difference in the classes – they are both from the same teacher with the same dancers, so you can see how they progress throughout the year.
One thing you might notice is that they are not wearing a uniform – in the Academy they only require a uniform for special occasions, unlike in other schools. If you have any other questions about the training, please feel free to share them with me!

Q5:ご主人のゲナデイさんはどんな人ですか?
−He is a very kind and generous man, not just to me but to everyone. I’m very happy to have him with me. 彼は私だけでなくすべての人にとても親切で寛大な人です。私は彼と一緒にいてとても幸せです。
私は犬が大好きで、ニューヨークからフロリダにはアンジー(愛犬の名前)を乗せて自分の車で来ました。ゲナディとは毎日朝早くにお散歩をさせてから劇場に向かっています。 ←本当に仲良しです!
今回のYAGP North America Finalsはフロリダ州タンパのTHE STRAZ CENTERにあるMORSANI HALL(2,610席)とFERGUSON HALL(1,042席)の隣り合わせに建っている2つのホールとNew Generationという最近急激に伸びてきている学校のスタジオを使用し、ホテルも劇場の目の前で移動も時間がかからず快適だそうです。
