We invite everyone who is interested in ballet to take a wonderful journey through the ballet world and discover themselves
The Japan Vaganova Ballet Association (JVBA) is the official partner of the
Vaganova Ballet Academy in Japan. Founded in 2018, our association aims to promote the Russian ballet education style throughout the Asian region.
Our mission is to preserve and develop classical ballet, nurture young talent, and foster cultural exchange. Since our establishment, we have organized annual masterclasses, concerts, and internships for students and teachers, providing valuable opportunities for professional growth.
An essential part of our activities involves volunteer projects, including the translation of Russian ballet literature, the adaptation of ballet films for Japanese audiences, and the restoration of classical heritage, including forgotten works by Marius Petipa.
One of our primary goals is to spread knowledge about the teaching methodology of Agrippina Vaganova, recognized as the global standard in classical ballet education. Through JVBA programs, many students have been admitted to the Russian Vaganova Ballet Academy, where they receive world-class training essential for a successful professional career in ballet.
Starting in 2024, we will expand our reach to other Asian countries, inviting participants from neighboring regions to join our programs and collaborate with us. We take pride in contributing to the promotion of ballet, organizing gala performances, reviving forgotten masterpieces, and bridging the gap between tradition and contemporary art.
JVBA serves as a platform to nurture talent, unlock potential, and bring the world of ballet to new generations.
We love ballet and art and invite everyone to join us in this wonderful journey!
The theme of this event is to learn from the classical legacy, preserve it, develop classical ballet, and pass it on to the future through the works choreographed by Marius Petipa, who laid the foundation for "classical ballet" in the modern era. We believe that by preserving tradition, we can understand our identity within history and advance in the right direction.
This year we are proud to offer not only classical ballet classes, but also unique sessions with world-class professionals. Our guests will include the world's best Vaganova Academy teachers, as well as a Belarusian ballet doctor visiting Japan for the first time, who will share their experiences alongside many renowned artists, and a contemporary choreographer who will help us create new works. She will help each participant find his or her individual role of expression.
The summer school provides intensive training under the guidance of top-tier instructors with state-certified qualifications. The three-week program covers all subjects taught in the Academy’s eight-year curriculum.
Participants will have the extraordinary opportunity to:
- Train at the world’s oldest ballet school
- Learn ballet traditions from the Academy’s master teachers
- Perform in a final concert open to the public
- Visit one of Russia’s most beautiful cities
