Russian Ballet Academy

Established by Meiyi Li, the first Singaporean to have trained at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy, our programs are based on the 8 levels of Vaganova method, with clear goals, syllabus and exams. They are for the serious dancer who wants high quality instruction and opportunities to perform and compete. Using the art & discipline of the Vaganova method, we help bring out your best in technique, performance & artistry.

"Meiyi is the first Singaporean to train at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow, Russia and has also successfully completed all levels of the Bolshoi Ballet Academy's Teacher Certification Program. Having studied at the Academy directly, Meiyi has the firsthand experience and understanding of its methodology.

Her students range from the recreational to the pre-professional, some of whom had won awards in local and international competitions. In her scope of work, Meiyi has also worked with several rhythmic gymnasts, a result of the complementary nature of Vaganova ballet with RG techniques.
​
To retain the purity of Russian style and the finesse of the pedagogy, her classes are not mixed with any other ballet methods, and her training is crafted such that the Vaganova curriculum works across a range of skills and age groups. A significant part of her work also includes helping dancers gain strength and placement so that they stay injury-free and maintain a good physical form."
