ABOUT THE TEAM
In total, the St. Petersburg Festival Ballet includes 42 dancers, all of whom are graduates of renowned Russian ballet schools: the Waganowa Academy in St. Petersburg, the Moscow Academy of Choreography, the Ufa Ballet School (which also has Rudolf Nurejev, probably the best contemporary dancer, as a graduate) and the Perm Ballet Academy. All of the dancers have worked at leading ballet theaters in Russia and have won numerous awards at international ballet festivals and competitions. Together with the St. Petersburg Festival Ballet they form one of the best ballet companies in terms of aesthetics and technique not only in Russia, but in the whole world.
The ballet ensemble "Saint Petersburg Festival Ballet" was founded in 2009. Thus, the long-awaited dream has become reality. The team of professionals has always wanted to bring together talented and ambitious young artists of St. Petersburg. The team's goal is to present the best of traditional Russian ballet art to classical ballet lovers from here and abroad, to introduce new names and to help young new Russian talents to reveal their full potential. The St. Petersburg Festival Ballet has since performed on the world's best stages, touring for 5 to 6 months a year.
