Developed by Moscow Ballet’s Co-producer, Mary Talmi, the Swan Lake Summer Program is a unique training cultural program for children to work one-on-one with a Russian soloist. Introduced in 2004, hosted in only eight dance studios, the program became an instant success. Last year, over twenty five dance studios participated in this wonderful intensive workshop.

Westminster Ballet Theatre, in residence at State of the Arts Dance is proud to be partnering with the Moscow Ballet to provide our community with world class dance instruction and artistic excellence that is the Moscow Ballet. The WBT looks forward to a long and creative alliance with the Moscow Ballet.

Moscow Ballet is the proud publisher of two children’s books “The Great Russian Nutcracker” and “Tales of Classical Ballet”. This summer, Moscow Ballet will feature its children’s books at a variety of Barnes and Noble story time events and libraries.
