🩰 A ballerina is not formed overnight.
Behind a beautiful classical variation are years of careful training—placement, posture, turnout, coordination, musicality, strength, discipline, artistry, and, above all, a solid understanding of the fundamentals of classical ballet.
We are incredibly proud to see the beautiful dancer this student has become after being trained and raised at the Vladimir Issaev School of Classical Ballet under the guidance of our School Director and Ballet Teacher, Ms. Giselle Deyá, a graduate ballet educator with a Master’s degree in Ballet Pedagogy.
When the foundations are properly built, a dancer is prepared to continue growing, evolving, and succeeding wherever her journey may take her. Those foundations remain with her.
This is what dedicated teaching looks like. This is what it means to form a dancer—not simply teach steps.
Brava, Ms. Giselle! 👏🩰 Your knowledge, patience, dedication, and years of work are beautifully reflected in the dancers you have helped form.
Great ballerinas begin with great foundations—and great teachers.
We are so proud of you, Ms. Giselle, and of the work being done every day at VISCB. ❤️
