Under the supervision of BRB Artistic Directors Boris Shepelev and Blanca Hartmann, the program offers top quality teachers and master guest teachers that are dedicated to the learning process and growth of each individual student.

In order to develop a complete dancer, the curriculum of the BRB Summer Program 2024 will include advanced technique classes on different subjects and a final theatre performance with guest principal dancers. BRB's teaching philosophy is to create dancers with a strong classical technique who are also versatile and thus prepared to work with any company, and to provide each of them with enough stage practice to show all the skills and artistry during a performance.

The BRB Summer Program 2024 will move forward the dancer on the following fields: classical dance, modern dance, physical preparation and performance skils

Classes take place in beautiful studios equipped with sprung floor to limit the risk of injuries. Most of the classes are held in English.

Limited spots to grant personal attention: It is a priority to take each student to his next level considering his individuality and uniqueness
We believe on the huge potential of each kid. Each kid might become a great dancer, a great artist. The capacity of learning and the explosion of creativity at this young age is a treasure that cannot be disregarded.
BRB's teaching philosophy for this age is to develop a versatile artist with a strong classical ballet technique. Thus, kids willd be exposed to a classical ballet tecnique lesson and physical conditioning lesson everyday followed by other dance & art classes such a jazz, musical theatre, singing, drama & modern dance.
Every Friday there are demonstration classes that will let the kids show to their families and friends everything they learned during the week.

    I felt like an Alice in Wonderland. I had this amazing opportunity to be part of your superb program. Gala program - and event itself was incredible stuff and all preparations, trainings just mirrored your responsible planning and organizing of such a big event. It was difficult and hard but at the end of the day, the Gala was amazing -a life time experience. I have seen profesionals in action and real life - that was huge. Such an inspiration for myself to learn and work harder in future. I enjoyed friendly atmosphere in the studio and we had a lot of fun. Your programme is one of the best experiences ever. Big thank you to all of you.

    Congratulations for the summer program at Vaganova. Montserrat had a fantastic experience and she told me she would like to come back next year. She had very good time, made new friends and learned a lot. We are forwarding to you some pictures with Ms. Yulia, one of her favorite teachers of the program. Every day she is doing the warm-up that Mr. Boris gave her in order to stay in shape before starting again at Koltun.
