In Their Words
What Students & Parents Say
Training at BBA gave me the foundation I needed to compete at the national level. Elena's teaching is the most precise and thorough I have ever experienced.
Former BBA Student
Now training at a professional conservatory
I was accepted to the School of American Ballet Summer Course, and I honestly credit Elena's insistence on correct technique from day one. She never let anything slide, and that discipline made all the difference.

SAB Summer Course, 2025
My daughter started at BBA in Pre-Ballet and is now a Youth Company member performing on the King Center stage. Watching her grow has been the most beautiful thing. This academy is extraordinary.
