Art cannot exist in isolated space. It is especially important for the art of ballet, since this is the most dynamic kind of art, where skills are carefully passed from a teacher to a student. The Dance Open Ballet Festival gives an exclusive possibility to the students of various ballet schools to meet the stars of ballet dancing and teaching at the master-classes.

To grow professionally it is extremely necessary to share experience with students by demonstrating unique methods of teaching at Russian ballet schools and discovering various features of foreign work with students. The organizers of the festival believe this comparison and analysis of different techniques is the main goal of the classes.
