Performance Opportunities
Perform at new heights
One of the most invaluable aspects of training at Stepanova Ballet Academy are the performance opportunities afforded to students in professionally staged and originally choreographed classical ballet productions. The experience of being a part of a professionally staged production, and playing a role in a fairy tale such as Cinderella, Coppelia, Pinocchio, is something our students and their families are able to cherish for a lifetime.
Full length productions include original choreography, beautiful costumes and magical sets.
Performing in front of an auditorium full of not just family and friends, Stepanova Ballet Academy’s shows attract a diverse audience with an appreciation of classical ballet from the community. Custom made costumes light up the stage with vibrant color and detail. Backdrops, props, and custom sets bring the stage to life. This unique experience excites the imagination and allows for dancers to be part of a fairy tale come to life.
I wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on the beautiful production of Cinderella, I was beyond impressed with the talent and beautiful choreography, most of all, it was impressive to see so many dancers of all ages loving every moment of their dance on stage, you have inspired the love of ballet in the lives of so many students and their families!
I wanted to thank you for allowing me to attend your school’s performance of Coppelia. It was a wonderful show all around.
As I was watching, I kept thinking how beautifully you and your staff coached and rehearsed each and every student. You must be very proud of your students and your staff.
You, as the head of the school and company provide everyone with such artistic integrity and superb leadership.
THE NUTCRACKER
Students of Stepanova Ballet Academy have the opportunity to participate in Toronto International Ballet Theatre’s annual production of The Nutcracker ft. Stars of the Bolshoi Ballet. For over 10 years, Toronto Ballet Theatre ( a subsidiary of Stepanova Ballet Academy) has presented The Nutcracker production to sold out crowds at The Sony Centre, Toronto Centre for the Arts and the John Bassett Theatre. Young dancers, ages 8 – professional, get the opportunity of a lifetime to perform with the world biggest stars in the largest soft seat theatre in Canada, the Sony Centre. All students who wish to participate in Nutcracker must audition to be cast. Performing before a live audience of over 2,500, teaches stage decorum, instills confidence, and facilitates the transition from student to professional. For many of our dancers, this is the beginning of a career in dance and a lifelong love affair with ballet.

The performance of the Toronto International Ballet Theatre of the Nutcracker was just amazing. Everything was done to perfection; the dancing, the music and the decoration. We went as a family with my wife and 3 teenager kids and enjoyed every moment. It was a night to remember. Well done!
