BECOME A STAR OF BALLET!
In just one hour, learn basic ballet exercises with a ballet soloist and improve your flexibility. Enjoy an unforgettable experience and boost your mood.
No previous experience needed, all ages welcome, and no special attire required.
Hi, my name is Volodymyr Tkachenko. I'm from Ukraine. I'm a professional ballet dancer and teacher and owner Blooming Ballet.
The mission of Blooming Ballet is to create an enjoyable environment for developing ballet skills.
In traditional ballet, teachers quickly label students based on appearance and potential, often overlooking or belittling those who don’t fit their criteria, which can hinder mental well-being and permanently discourage them from pursuing ballet.
I was told as a child that I would never dance. Yet, I became a soloist and director of a ballet company in the USA, and one of my students was named Best Dancer in Ukraine. Since I do not agree with the traditional system, I created my own.
At Blooming Ballet, we respect every student without judgments, providing the attention and training needed to reach your goals — whether you aim to be a professional ballerina or dance for enjoyment.
"Our students are like flowers, and we just water them so they can grow."

The class is suitable for students with and without experience. Our goal is to introduce you to ballet and our teaching system.
2. What should I wear to the free trial class? Is special ballet attire required?
You don't have to worry about this. Each of our students once came to the first trial lesson. Most students started from scratch. At the trial lesson, you will be among the same beginners. Personal attention of the teacher will help you feel as comfortable as possible.
3. How long is the free trial class, and what can I expect to learn during that time?
The duration is one hour. During the class, you will meet the instructor, learn about the teaching system, explore the studio, and determine whether ballet is right for you.

Our studio is designed for adults. Our students range in age from 20 to 70 years old.
5. What happens after I fill out and submit the form for a free trial lesson?
We will contact you and arrange a free lesson that suits your level, as well as find a suitable date and time for you.

If you wish, you can continue in regular groups. The instructor will help you find a suitable group based on your level after the free class.

We have a large 2-hour free parking area available near the studio.
