About the Bayer Ballet Academy
The Bayer Ballet Academy (BBA) was founded by Inna Bayer in 2005 to implement the famous Vaganova method for the instruction of classical ballet. Bayer, a seasoned professional ballet mistress with extensive teaching experience in Russia, the Ukraine, Israel and the USA led the school through significant growth in just four years. Ms Bayer's students have demonstrated exceptional results. Our 2009 Winter show received an enthusiastic response from its audience of over 500.
Students range from age three through pre-professional level. For those interested in pursuing dance careers or those for whom classical training is an end in itself the Bayer Ballet Academy offers an excellent ballet training in a warm and friendly environment. Special attention is given to develop each individual child by focusing on their special strengths and talents. The school produces two shows staged at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts each year one in the Winter and one in the Spring.
