ABOUT VAGANOVA BALLET & OUR TEACHING /

Down through its 250 years of history, Russian ballet technique has remained one of the strongest pedagogies in the world, being recognised for its high level of technique and artistry. We train dancers  to be strong and clean in their foundational technique, placement and control, because incorrect technique creates poor posture and lines, as well as increases the risk of injuries.

INSTRUCTOR

Meiyi is the first Singaporean to train at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow, Russia and she is also the first Singaporean to have successfully completed all levels of the Bolshoi Ballet Academy's Teacher Certification Program in New York City. Having studied at the Academy directly, Meiyi has the firsthand experience and understanding of its methodology.

To retain the purity of Russian style and the finesse of its pedagogy, her classes are not mixed with any other styles of techniques and she trains dancers on how to work their bodies, and understand classical technique in both theory and application. Her students range from children to adults, and some have also gone on to compete and win in local and international dance competitions.
