Whether you’re a beginning ballet student, a teen aspiring to hone your technique, or an adult seeking the challenge of physical and intellectual exercise, Kirova Ballet Academy of Miami offers classes that meet your needs. Ballet classes are taught in the classical Vaganova method, and in three Divisions that encompass all age levels. Each student is placed in the class and level most appropriate for his/her development.

Le Petit Division

PRIMARY (3-4 YEARS OLD): Provides students with a wide range of dance training that includes pre-ballet.

PRIMARY I (5-6 YEARS OLD), PRIMARY II (7-8 YEARS OLD) & PRIMARY III (7-8 YEARS OLD): Students are introduced to barre and the basic movements of classical ballet. Primary III is for the more experienced student, by audition and instructor placement only.

Pre-Professional Division

LEVEL I (AGES 8-9): Intensity of study increases. Exercises lengthen and more complicated movements are introduced. Students whose technique and body are strong enough begin pointe work.

Pointe work lengthens in duration and students learn variations from selected classical ballets. LEVEL II-A is for the more experienced student, by audition and instructor placement only.
