Long Island Ballet Academy & Dance

is based on the Russian tradition of dance education. The students follow a graded syllabus that was developed by Aggrippina Vaganova (1871-1951), a principal dancer at the Maryinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg.

Vaganova’s method has become the foremost method, and has trained ballet stars such as Natalia Makarova, Rudolf Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov. 

Students of this Sea Ciff, Long Island, Ballet  School receive a unique education.  They are enhanced by tradition of Russian classical ballet, and are given a strong base, allowing them to expand into other styles of Modern Dance.

The school operates from September through June with an intensive summer program in July and August.

Our primary goal is to give each student the personal attention needed to obtain the best dance education possible.

Classes are available for all ages (3 & up)
and we offer pre-professional level in Technique, Pointe, Variations, Character
and other forms of dance education,
such as Jazz ,Modern,Tap and Hip Hop.
