From the reviews

Ms. Lena is an excellent, caring teacher. Her classes are an excellent choice for students interested in authentic Russian ballet. My daughter improved her strength and ballet technique during two and a half years of classes.

★★★★★ — Yuka, Jul 2023

Ms. Lena was my first ballet teacher and I was able to improve and learn so much thanks to her. She really cares about each individual student and gives everyone in her clssses the same amount of attention and corrections. Her attention to detail and passion for teaching is amazing.

★★★★★ — Connor, Sep 2023

If you (or your child) want to improve, Lena is the teacher who can make you look like a ballerina even if you are an absolute beginner. What set her apart from other teachers are her ability to explain technique logically, and high standard even for adults.

★★★★★ — Mayumi, Aug 2023

Whether you are a child or an adult, if you want the very best training in ballet, you need to go to this school. Lena's knowledge and training has made me a much better dancer. If you are an adult and want to learn ballet the right way, this is the place.

Your first ballet class at Mironova Classical Ballet Academy

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
