Also known as the State Academy of Choreography, this is the affiliate school of the Bolshoi Ballet Company. There are few paths to dancing on the big stage and few more rigorous and promising then studying at the Bolshoi. "Jordan is a beautiful dancer. Both hardworking and talented, she has accomplished much in her year with us." says Inna Bayer, founder and artistic director of the Bayer Ballet Academy in Mountain View and Jordan's teacher, coach and friend for the last year. "Being asked to join the students in their Moscow program in not just proof of Jordan's commitment and talent but to the quality of training at our young school. They look for technique as well as talent, especially in teenaged dancers, talent alone won't suffice." explained Ms. Bayer. In addition to a full classload at Bayer Ballet Academy, Jordan attended two Bayer Ballet Academy summer intensives whose pedagogy is led by a former Bolshoi Ballet Academy instructor Margarita Yussim and by Ms. Bayer who trained at the State Academy of Choreography and Dance in Voronezh, Russia and who toured internationally as a principal dancer of the Kiev Classical Ballet Theater.
