Kiev International Grand Prix
Congratulations to all students who attended Grand Prix Kiev!
CBA students and Ballet Melange trainees recently returned from the Kiev International Grand Prix and Ballet Festival in Kiev, Ukraine. They got to rehearse at various schools and studios in Kiev, experience dancing on raked floors, and meet dancers from 16 countries participating in the competition. Ballet Melange trainees even attended company classes with the National Ballet of Ukraine! Avalon was a finalist in the competition and received special awards from multiple jury members for ballet events in Greece, Korea, and Moscow. The dancers attended 3 ballets performed by the amazing National Ballet of Ukraine in the legendary National Opera House, were immersed in the European arts culture, and got to practice their Russian language skills. We so appreciate our blossoming relationships with these European schools and companies!

We are proud and wish Beatriz a long and exciting career in dance!
