Victoria International Ballet Academy

Victoria International Ballet Academy was founded by Ms. Victoria Mironova. M. Ed. In 2003. Ms. Victoria, on graduating from the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet (St. Petersburg, Russia), was a ballerina for 21 years with the Mikhailovsky (Mussorgsky) Opera and Ballet Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. In 1995, after 5 years of university studies, she graduated from the Teachers’ Department of the Vaganova Academy majoring in ballet pedagogy and choreography.
Once established in Canada, Ms. Victoria, who represents the second generation of Russian ballet professors who have mastered the knowledge contained in the world-renowned Vaganova syllabus, set out on the gratifying path of sharing her passion for ballet and her many years of knowledge and experience with all the children and adults who wanted to participate in this same dedication to the art of ballet. With that goal in mind the Academy opened its doors in 2003, and a year later as a unique day school that combined academic education with professional ballet training. - See more at: http://www.victoriaballet.com/about-us/#sthash.ZZ3IVZOR.dpuf

The number one goal at Victoria International Ballet Academy is to provide our students with a sound foundation to achieve academic and professional success. Because we want them to be the best, we work each and every day to help them become confident, empowered and wise individuals. We know they will be inspired by their artistic strengths and will become more resilient as a result of learning from their mistakes.

What helps shape the success of our students?

We offer a stimulating academic and dance curriculum designed for students to reach their goals and meet their full potential. Considering the astounding results obtained so far, there is no doubt that our system, based on a synthesis of education in its commonly accepted meaning, and the edification of the student’s character by self-management and conquest of the self have helped achieve our main educational goals by following these principles:

Creative imagination of our students is fed on the knowledge of opportunities and their limits. They set their goals not on the basis of what they can do but based on their dreams and always searching for ways to achieve what they have imagined. The school prepares them with the necessary academic knowledge, life skills, and character development for better results.

Decision making and determination is taught through a process of learning how to make independent decisions and do their best to achieve positive results through organization, and planning for success. They know that a temporary failure is not a defeat.

Courage helps not to fear criticism and frank self-analysis. Students learn how to analyse their mistakes, set and reach high goals and standards, and nourish further success.

Having received their education in an environment of success, students at the Academy will reach their highest potential and we will be able to witness their transformation into successful members of our society.
