New season for Russian School of Ballet
View(s):The annual examination of the current batch of students of the ‘The Russian School of Ballet and Dancing’ will be conducted under the patronage of Oxana Karnovich of the Moscow State Academy of Choreography. ‘This will pave the way for new students to join the Russian School of Ballet for the year 2022/2023’ said Chandi Aluvihare of the Russian Centre in Colombo.
‘The Russian School of Ballet and Dancing’ under the Russian House in Colombo is the premier Ballet and Dance School in Sri Lanka, which commenced its activities in the year 2001. The school started off with four little girls, all eager to learn and master the art of ballet.
‘Ballet is one of the main disciplines, Russian House in Colombo has to offer out of the vast cultural heritage of Russia’ she added.
The school was initiated under the patronage of Mikkkhail Ustinov- then Director of The Russian Centre and Buddhapriya Ramanayaka- C.E.O., with Ms. Galina Pleshakova, a native Russian Classical Ballet instructor who was passionate in sharing her knowledge of ballet with the young students of Sri Lanka. The school was conceptualised and standardised by Chandi Aluvihare Cultural Officer of The Russian Centre in 2001.
Currently, the School has over few hundred students learning classical ballet under the guidance of Ms. Galina Pleshakova, the founder, who is ably assisted by Samantha Samararathne, Niluka Madurawala, Radisha Bodiyabadu, a group of assistant teachers, Kavishka Prematilake, Shenaalie Dias, Samindi De Silva and Vichara Udawatte, who hold the distinction of being past students of the School.
‘The School is at present looking forward to expanding the classes in order to give more opportunities to a larger number of students who are on the waiting list aspiring to learn ballet. Annual concerts are organized and held in grand style and are attended by a large number of proud parents, well-wishers and lovers of ballet. In keeping with its standards, the Russian School of Ballet arranges annual examinations which are conducted under the patronage of Ms. Oxana Karnovich’ said Mrs Aluvihara.
