From the reviews
I am in my second year training at Koltun Ballet Academy. My mother and I moved from Vermont to train with Koltun Ballet Academy and it was the best decision I have ever made! I look forward to my classes everyday. Miss Koltun and Mr Lapshin are inspiring to me and my classmates.
My daughter has been training at the KBA for two years now and she has thoroughly enjoyed her experience. Throughout 2 years, my daughter has improved immensely under Alexandra and Alex's care.
QUALITY AND CARING PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION FOR SERIOUS DANCERS - If you are reading this review, it is likely you are searching for a ballet school that is right for you. You may be looking for your child’s first ballet school, or thinking of moving from your current school. We found Koltun when looking to move.
Our 12th grade daughter has been a student of Alex and Alexandra’s for almost 5 years. In that time, we have watched her ballet training sky rocket. She dances in the Level 7 pre-professional group, and the school was transformative for her.
Your first ballet class at Koltun Ballet Boston
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
