Our Mission and Philosophy
Founded and overseen by Artistic Director Marat Daukayev, the Marat Daukayev School of Ballet is dedicated to the serious study of Russian-style classical ballet, with an emphasis on discipline, respect, and self-improvement. Students are taught as individuals and guided to reach their highest potential through consistent, thoughtful instruction in both technique and artistry.
We believe that ballet training requires regular practice and long-term commitment. For this reason, students enroll by full semesters and are encouraged to attend multiple classes each week, allowing technique, strength, coordination, and artistic expression to develop steadily over time.
Year-Round TrainingFor All Ages
Classes are offered year-round in Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters, with a separate Summer Intensive program for focused, seasonal training. In addition, Intersession Conservatory classes are offered in June and December for our most advanced dancers.
Marat Daukayev School of Ballet welcomes male and female students ages 3 through 18, offering age-appropriate and level-appropriate training within a supportive, disciplined environment.
