About Ivan Pryntsev

As the CEO and Artistic Director of Pryntsev Ballet Academy, my mission is to build an institution that goes beyond just teaching ballet—it’s a place where young dancers can thrive, find their potential, and feel a part of a supportive, professional environment.

I believe in creating a learning environment that reflects the highest standards in dance education, grounded in the Vaganova method. Our approach prioritizes the development of fundamental ballet skills, strong discipline, and a deep understanding of technique while also emphasizing each student’s well-being, injury prevention, and artistic growth. Our dedication to excellence is evident in our students’ achievements, with many being recognized in international competitions, earning scholarships, and gaining acceptance into prestigious institutions worldwide.

At Pryntsev Ballet Academy, our team is united by a shared purpose: to guide our students as they reach for their personal best, both in ballet and in life. We work continuously to improve our offerings, from adding valuable programs.

My goal is to create a self-sustaining academy that will flourish independently, offering future generations a place where they can pursue their love of dance with unwavering support. I welcome feedback and ideas from our community as we work together to realize this vision. Let’s continue to build a legacy of excellence, passion, and opportunity at Pryntsev Ballet Academy.
