First International Ballet School Prague

News
First International Ballet School Prague, the first school of its kind in the Czech Republic, focuses on training of children and young artists and provides top-level education in classical ballet with modern dance elements. The school is exceptional in many respects, with the tuition conducted exclusively in English.
The project’s founder is the ballet master of the National Theatre Veronika Iblová, a first-class pedagogue in this discipline for many years. She says of the ballet school: “Our dance school aims to work with children and teenagers on the harmonic development of not only their body but also their personality. We would like to provide them with high-quality education in classical and contemporary dance, as well as stimulate their feeling for music. To initiate them into the mystique and beauty of the art called ballet in a spontaneous form. And, at the same time, to pass on to them love and humility for this art…” First International Ballet School Prague resides in the historic centre of Prague, close to the Charles Bridge. The pedagogues are exclusively former or current soloists of the National Theatre Ballet and active ballet masters working with professional dancers at the highest possible level on an everyday basis.
