With our third intensive week underway and our performance coming up fast, let’s take a moment to sincerely thank ADC IBC for their continued support of BBSI. Through this multi-year partnership we can extend acceptances and scholarships to the nation’s next generation of professionals, while scouting for unique talent and hard working students. Thank you ADC!
One of ballet’s most thrilling steps comes with a whole lot of challenges and prerequisites to execute properly and consistently. The clearest way to progress one’s turns is to prioritize the alignment of the passé, a clear spot, an engaged and active standing side, and constant use of turnout on one’s standing leg. Here, our gentlemen at BBSI provide a wonderful visual aide, great job everyone 👏🏻
Alongside our daily classes, we’ve also got major preparations underway for our gala performance next week. Here is BBSI Artistic Director Emma Frenette working with Grace Woodbury through one of Medora’s beautiful variations.
Take a closer look at some of the expert coaching from our 2026 faculty with this special video showcasing the brilliant guidance from Rubén Martín, Director of International Ballet Academy.
