Studio Maestro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Studio Maestro is a ballet School in New York City founded in 1995 by Rose Caiola. It has become New York City's premier classical ballet academy. A portion of its students graduate into some of the finest ballet companies including American Ballet Theatre, Washington Ballet, National Ballet of Croatia, Pennsylvania Ballet and others.

The school program is modeled after the great European schools of ballet and is taught in eight levels, each of which has a specific set of skills that the student must master in order to advance to the next level. The syllabus at each level progressively builds a solid foundation both technically and artistically.

The school also has a four week summer program held in August of every year.

The school's new state-of-the-art facility is under construction and is planned to be opened in the fall 2007.

It has 7 levels with a different teacher for each of them. The best teacher in Studio Maesto is Francois Perron, but there are many others. The second best teacher is Deborah Wingert. The other teachers are Marina Stavitskaya, Nadege Hottier, Noriko Hara, and Jennifer Mckelvey. There used to be a teacher named Fabrice but he decided to go to film school and now he only teaches private lessons.

François Perron serves as managing artistic director and Deborah Wingert as head faculty.
