Mission & Vision
Our purpose is to develop dancers with healthy placement, refined technique, and lasting confidence — built gradually, with intention, one step at a time.
We aim to be the reference for classical ballet training in Geneva and the region. A place where discipline feels calm, progress feels clear, and excellence stays human.
Founder and Artistic Direction
The Academy is led by its founder and Artistic Director, Vladimir Ippolitov, whose vision combines classical rigor, artistic refinement, and individual attention. His direction shapes the Academy’s identity across all locations, with a focus on structured progression, healthy technique, and a high standard of teaching.
He is also the founder of the World Ballet Stars Gala — an annual event bringing international soloists to Geneva.
Our Faculty
Our faculty brings professional stage experience and serious pedagogy. One team, one method, one level of quality — across every location.
Our Locations
We welcome students across four locations in the Geneva region: Champel, Cologny, Nations, and Nyon. Each location has its own page with available programs, address, and schedule.
Pre-Professional Programme
A focused training path for motivated students seeking stronger technical development, discipline, and preparation for higher-level study.
Children and Teens: Movement and Musicality
A structured and inspiring environment where young dancers build strong foundations, musicality, discipline, and confidence.
Adults: Posture and Mobility
A refined and supportive ballet experience that develops posture, strength, mobility, and elegance.
Leaders: Presence and Discipline
A program designed to unite artistic discipline, presence, and leadership through a high-standard training environment.
All training at Ballet Academy Vladimir Ippolitov follows the Vaganova method — a proven classical system that builds strength, coordination, and expressive clarity from the very first class. Applied consistently across every level and every location, it gives each student a clear, safe path forward.
