At what age is it better to start dancing ballet?

From the age of 2 years old

Harmonious physical development

Ability to control the body and emotions

Cultural enrichment

Strong flexible muscles

By nature, children have flexible muscles. Thanks to ballet training, the flexibility is preserved and the muscles do not stiffen, even with a sedentary lifestyle at school.

Posture and body alignment

After a few classes, the correct posture begins to form thanks to the raised belly and well-placed shoulder blades.

We always look with admiration at a child who has a beautiful posture. Also, it is the best prevention of scoliosis and flat feet and clubfoot.

And most importantly — the children are delighted with the classes

Because ballet is not only about physical development but also intellectual and emotional
Acting skills and ability to perform in front of the audience

Express emotions through mimicry and gestures. Children love to feel like actors and receive encouragement from the teacher and spectators
Emotions and energy

Dance, improvisation: in the class, we can let go of the emotions and energy which accumulated during the day
Beautiful outfit and costumes

A beautiful ballet outfit — leotard, tutu, knit — to wear every class. And the magnificent costumes for the performances
Communication and friends

During the class, children learn to work together in a team. The cohesion and supporting each other during the class often create true friendship.

Teachers are professional ballet dancers

We are very demanding about the selection of teachers

They must not only have professional education but also be able to transmit their passion for ballet to students. They have pedagogical skills and enjoy working with children. It is important for us that, the teachers are attentive to the personality and progress of each student.

All the teachers working in our school are strictly selected and trained according to our own patented training program. They study about children's motor skills training, as well as children development stages and attention retention techniques. The education program continues all the time. We never stop learning and evolving our skills.

Children 2-3 y.o.

The main rule of class for toddlers is to help them develop harmoniously. Classes for children from 2 to 3 y. o. are run in a playful and fun way. They learn the basic ballet steps, positions of legs and hands, reinforcing their body core.

Also, toddlers discover the magical world of ballet and classical music. The lessons also include practising acting and improvisation accompanied by classical music.

Children 4-5 y.o.

The main rule of class for children is to help them develop harmoniously. At this age, we train motor skills, coordination and strengthen the musculoskeletal system. More attention is given to floor gymnastics and stretching. The feet are carefully worked, which has a beneficial effect on their development, eliminates the flat feet and the club foot and forms beautiful lines of the legs.

We develop the intelligence, the attention, which allows greater capacity of concentration. Children also learn to dance classical dance correctly. We really teach children to dance and bit just to repeat the same movements.

A class of maximum 10-12 students allows individual attention

Class duration — 50 min

Children 6-8 y.o.

At this age, children are mentally and physically ready for heavier workloads than toddlers. Most of the course is still focused on ballet gymnastics on the floor and stretching. Children are engaged in the centre and at the barre. They receive core training and strengthen the backbones and legs.

Training is still done without points. Students start using them much later, at the age of 9-10 y.o., when they are physically stronger. The lessons include advanced acting and improvisation.

Our history

School founder «Ballet from 2 y.o.»
Tatiana Korneyeva with her daughter

The international school of Russian ballet "Ballet from 2 years old" is a dynamic, innovative and fast growing company. It was founded by the family Tatiana and Dmitry Korneyev, in Moscow, Russia.

Tatiana is a professional ballerina, a specialist in children’s psychology, laureate of national and international choreographic competitions in classical dance. She was for a long time the principal teacher of a large dance centre “Dance Revolution School” in Los Angeles, USA. Dmitry is a talented entrepreneur.

“My two-year-old daughter gave me the idea of opening a ballet school where even toddlers can learn to dance, and I wanted my daughter to see the wonderful world of ballet from an early age” – says Tatiana, founder of the school.

Our training program is based on the teaching methodology of the famous Russian ballerina and teacher A.G. Vaganova. The program was developed in collaboration with ballet artists from the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre, neurologists and early childhood specialists. The methodology is approved by the Moscow State Academy of Choreography. The unique methodology of the school became quickly very popular. Today, its network is represented by more than 50 schools and 10,000 students in 6 counties in the world.

The school «Ballet from 2 years old» has been open in Switzerland, Lausanne area, early January 2020. The development of our network in Switzerland has been taken over by our partner, Mrs Oxana Klepova, founder of “Grow & Glow Sàrl” company, specialized in additional education for children and adults.

By bringing a child to our ballet school, parents can be sure that their child will receive high-level ballet education.
