🌟 Faculty Spotlight 🌟

Meet Mr. Vadim - one of our incredible ballet teachers! After an amazing career as a professional ballet dancer, Mr. Vadim went on to earn his “Ballet Master” title at the Moscow State Choreographic Institute 🎓

He joined our teaching staff 8 years ago, and we are so lucky to have him at Encore! When he is not busy teaching our dancers, he can be found at the Classical Ballet of Fredericksburg, where is the co-director.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion for ballet with us, Mr. Vadim!
