Paris Opera Ballet School - Scarlet’s Dream Came True
Our student Scarlet has been accepted to the Paris Opera Ballet School Summer Intensive in France. Learn how her ballet journey began and where it’s headed next.
Out of over 1,100 dancers who auditioned, only 170 were accepted. Scarlet’s selection is a true testament to her dedication and the high level of training she’s received at PBA.
Scarlet’s Ballet Journey
Scarlet Lealand joined Pryntsev Ballet Academy at just 7 years old with a clear goal: to receive professional ballet training. From the very beginning, she told us,
“My dream is to dance at the Paris Opera Ballet School in France.”
With that vision, she made the choice to leave commercial dance and fully commit to classical ballet.
From a Dream to Paris
Thanks to her natural talent, strong work ethic, and consistent training, Scarlet has now been accepted to the Paris Opera Ballet School Summer Intensive — one of the most prestigious ballet programs in the world.
This accomplishment is a direct result of years of focused training at PBA and Scarlet’s dedication to her craft.
Milestones and Competitions
Since February 2023, Scarlet has participated in national ballet competitions including:
• Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) – placing in Top 12 and Top 24
• California Dance Classics – awarded Top 10 in Classical Solo
Her growth has been steady, and her confidence continues to shine both in the studio and on stage.
A Message from Mr. Pryntsev
“I’ve always believed in Scarlet. Ballet is a long journey. You must be patient. There will be rejections. But if you keep moving forward, you’ll get it all.”
What’s Next?
We’re incredibly proud of Scarlet and all she has achieved — and we’re excited to see where her journey takes her next.
