Today the International Ballet Center celebrates its birthday. Four years ago, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin opened one of the most beautiful ballet schools in Moscow.

Over the years, Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Evgenia Obraztsova, Diana Vishneva, Sergei Polunin, Lyudmila Konovalova, Irina Varfolomeeva, Denis Rodkin, Artyom Ovcharenko, Julian McKay, Anastasia Thompson and students of the Moscow State Academy of Arts held their creative meetings, filming and rehearsals within the walls of the Center.

In our halls, master classes were held and masterpieces were shot by such photographers as Daryan Volkova, Alexander Yakovlev, Daria Chenikova, Ksenia Zasetskaya and others.

But our talented students, pupils and teachers are the greatest pride and value of the Center. You decorate the halls with daily rehearsals, trainings, show excellent results at international and all-Russian competitions. We brought back the beauty of the Pavilion so that you can create, grow and improve with our team – the best teachers, kind administrators and an excellent director.

Thank you for falling in love with the amazing art of ballet with us all these years!
