About

Year-Round Program

At Ballet Attitude Academy, we provide exceptional ballet education for students ages 3 through 18+, as well as ongoing ballet training for adults of all levels.

Our year-round program is designed to support each student’s individual goals—whether they are dancing for enjoyment, building a strong technical foundation, or pursuing professional ballet training.

Flexible Training Options

We understand that every family has a unique schedule. Students may choose the number of classes per week that best fits their goals and availability. Families can customize their training schedule by selecting the days and class frequency that work best for them.

Students interested in more intensive training and pre-professional development may follow a structured curriculum designed to prepare them for competitions, auditions, summer intensive programs, and future professional opportunities. Individual guidance and training plans help each student progress according to their goals, abilities, and commitment level.

Curriculum

Our training is rooted in the renowned Vaganova Method, developed by the Academy of Russian Ballet in St. Petersburg and recognized worldwide as one of the most respected ballet training systems.

The curriculum includes:

  • Classical Ballet Technique
  • Pointe Work
  • Character Dance
  • Contemporary Dance
  • Repertoire and Performance Preparation
  • Stretching and Conditioning
  • Artistic Development and Musicality

Throughout the year, students participate in open classes, studio performances, showcases, and formal examinations. These evaluations provide an opportunity to measure progress, celebrate achievements, and establish clear goals for future development.

Our examination process encourages discipline, consistency, and excellence while helping students build confidence and a strong technical foundation. Students receive constructive feedback that supports their individual artistic and technical growth.

Master Classes & Special Events

Students will have opportunities to learn from distinguished guest teachers, choreographers, and dance professionals through workshops and master classes offered throughout the year.

Artistic Leadership

Ballet Attitude Academy was founded and is directed by Svetlana Siplatova, a graduate of the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet, where she earned both her professional ballet diploma and a Master’s Degree in Ballet Pedagogy.

Mrs. Siplatova performed internationally as a professional ballet dancer with world-renowned companies including the Mariinsky Theatre, the Polish National Ballet, and Béjart Ballet Lausanne. Her extensive performing and teaching experience brings authentic professional ballet training directly into the classroom.

Our Philosophy

We believe that excellence in ballet can be achieved within a healthy, supportive, and encouraging environment.

Our goal is to develop not only strong technical dancers but also confident, disciplined, artistic young people who learn perseverance, responsibility, and self-expression through dance.

At Ballet Attitude Academy, students are challenged, inspired, and supported every step of their journey.
