We are asked all the time by young people and their parents if opportunities like this are possible. Unfortunately, they are very limited due to the running times of the shows, but the Russian State Ballet of Siberia agreed to make themselves available for this unique opportunity. A free opportunity to work with such a world-renowned company is a delight for us offer.
