Our curriculum is based on the Russian Vaganova method, offering classes for all ages and experience levels! Pre-Ballet 1 (ages 4 to 5: pink leotard): These classes consist of introduction to dance and the coordinated movements involved with music. Children will learn basic ballet positions. Students may take more than one class per week.
Adult Beginner: These are an introduction for individuals that would like to experience classical ballet in a classroom environment for the first time. Students are introduced to terminology, positions, barre work, and stretching, culminating in center exercises to strengthen core muscles. Tuesdays from 6:30pm - 7:45pm, and Saturdays from noon - 1:15pm.
The Spring Semester saw much success at Brevard Ballet Academy with summer intensive acceptance letters from the nation's top ballet schools filling our parent's in-boxes. Our students received acceptance to the Kirov Academy of Washington, the Harid Conservatory, Bolshoi Ballet-NYC, Boston Ballet, Orlando Ballet, and Houston Ballet.
Since Brevard Ballet Academy (BBA) opened in 2014 our Academy Director has insisted that giving back to the community was going to be a staple of our school's success. In 2018, BBA joined hands with our associate company, Brevard Ballet Youth Company (BBYC) to accomplish this mission. We now have partnerships with nonprofits Candlelighters of Brevard, Promise in Brevard, and Nana's house.
We are a highly successful, prestigious school offering the highest level of classical ballet training for all ages. We provide students with the opportunity to aspire in the world of ballet by offering consistent training, private lessons, performances, summer camps, dance competitions, and master classes.

Absolutely the best ballet school in Melbourne! The faculty are all very knowledgeable and amazing at sharing their knowledge with the students. The space is great with nice high ceilings, comfortable waiting rooms and great sprung floors. There are classes for students of all ages as well as the opportunity for everyone to perform in their semi annual productions. You wouldn’t know that this school is so new from seeing the performances, with professional stage managers from Russia to professionally made costumes and backdrops, you will be fully immersed in the experience the show brings you

My daughter became a part of the BBA family when the academy opened in 2014. It has been an absolute privilege to watch the growth of BBA over the last seven years - not only in the consistently professional, inspiring, and always-engaging
productions created by renowned ballerina Elena Shokhina but, more importantly, in the growth of the individual dancers who treat this studio as their second home. The skills, confidence, and grace that BBA dancers acquire under the tutelage of Miss Elena and her dedicated staff are truly impressive. The atmosphere at BBA is warm and inviting and you can clearly

We have felt like family here from day 1 thanks to the kindhearted team at BBA. We love that our daughter is being trained by an elite professional ballerina and is held to the highest standards of ballet, while having fun, making friends and feeling like she is in a safe place to try her best.

Have been apart of Brevard Ballet for past 5 yrs and consider them family. The owner & director Miss Elena is exceptional in her training of her students, along with her affection for them. She has given me the opportunity to use my love of costume making to dress her wonderful dancers.The shows are exceptional ,due to the perfect training they are receiving. Now i have an opportunity to see my grandaughter grow in this studio.

I’ve taken ballet at BBA for over five years now. Miss Elena and the staff are great. They’re all experienced with a diverse background which makes class enjoyable. My boyfriend’s daughter is taking Pre-Ballet and she looks forward to class all week long. The academy is clean and everyone is friendly. I’d recommend BBA to any experienced or inexperienced dancer.

I love this studio. I am an adult ballet dancer and have danced at several different studios in the area. The adult classes offered at this studio are by far the best in the area. The teachers are professional as well as phenomenal. The studio is clean and very welcoming. What makes this studio stand out is that there are several class options for adults only. The intermediate/advanced adult classes are a full hour and a half, three days a week. There are also two beginner adult classes offered throughout the week. All of the adult classes include barre and floor, so you get a full class. The studio

I have had the pleasure of dancing and training at Brevard Ballet Academy for the last three years. As a dancer who has trained and studied dance all my life I can honestly say that the training and opportunities for growth are like none other at Brevard Ballet Academy/Brevard Youth Company. BBA is both a combination of a center of community with a family friendly and supportive atmosphere as well as the highest level of world class classical ballet with the highest level of professional training under the direction of Principle Ballerina Miss Elena Shokhina, Russian ballet star. She is a world

I could not be more pleased with this high caliber ballet academy. The instructors are dedicated to their students, providing exceptional training to students of every level. I am an adult student who grew up with ballet and was thrilled to find that Ms. Elena (along with all faculty) brings the same energy, training, and challenge to her adult students as she has with her younger students. The environment is extremely positive, welcoming, and inclusive to all. I was fortunate to dance in The Nutcracker and have heard endless praise from family and friends while also being impressed myself from
