Great dance studio! Marrisa is a great and patient teacher. Katerina and Cheryl are very sweet. Will highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn ballet or improve their dance skills. They have classes for all different levels.

Russian Ballet Orlando is a truly exceptional studio! They have an extremely comprehensive adult ballet program with beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons... and even pointe classes for adults! Dont be discouraged if you have little to no prior ballet experience, the teachers (check out Marissas classes!) are very welcoming, talented, and are very patient with us vocational ballerinas. Also, the adult students are like a little family encouraging everyone to come back and keep trying harder. They have classes every day, so you can always find something that fits your schedule!

The Russian Ballet of Orlando offers once a month free ballet classes for younger children and we have had our daughter attend two of the classes thus far. You will need to purchase a ballet outfit for your little to attend, but considering the free classes, its a minimal cost.The staff has been incredible, the teacher is very patient with the kids (and saying that for a group of toddlers is huge!) and the facility is clean and nice. They do offer paid tuition courses, as well as, adult courses / classes if you would like to enroll.We plan to enroll our little when she turns three, so we have been slowly introducing her to the building and the people to help her adjust. I definitely recommend it for anyone with smaller ones. You can enroll them for the free classes starting at 2.5 years old.Overall: A+Loving the free courses and cant wait for our little to be a touch older to get her fully enrolled and do more classes :)

My daughter started dancing here 7 years ago. We switched to a bigger company after a few years at Russian, but returned to Russian because the love of dance, support, and self-esteem that this team gives their students is a thing of beauty. Now that I have a basis of comparison, I can say that Russian Ballet is the best option of the local ballet schools. The Christmas Nutcracker performance at Lake Eola is something my child looks forward to every year.

I’ve been taught by Katerina since I was 6 years old, I’m now 22, do the math. Katerina is one of the most understanding and professional instructors there is! I was able to get not only a professional dance resume but a collegiate dance scholarship under her guidance and incredible dance knowledge. I don’t know where I’d be without Katerina’s guidance in both life and dance. Thank you so much RBO!

I danced at RBO for about thirteen years and I would not be half the person I am today if I did not have Katerina in my life. She taught me early on in life about hard work and dedication, which helped me immensely in all other aspects of life. Her instruction and guidance not only helped me become a better dancer, but also a better person. It always felt like home when I was at the studio and I never doubted how much Katerina cared for me and her other students. It really is like having a second family.

Very unprofessional.Verbatim: At least I dont give birth to kids with disorders and mental issues -Katerina FedotovaArtists of all mediums should understand empathy and professionalism above everything else. Im sorry that this company has her as their director, and hopefully this temper doesnt affect any more of her students or employees.There should be an apology made.

This place has a really nice and inviting artistic director. She always greats me with a warm and inviting hug when I visit on any occasions and her and her staff try their best to make my time at this studio an enjoyable one. I applaud them for their hard work and dedication to dance and to creating that environment of family!

Katerina (the owner) not only cares about providing the best instruction possible, but she cares about helping each child be the best person they can be. She does not tolerate gossip or bad attitudes, and works so hard to cultivate a healthy environment and safe place for children to learn in her studio. She treats her students like family, and cares about their needs.Aside from Katerinas unmatched character, her professional skills are also top-notch. Shes quick to recognize each dancers individual strengths and weaknesses, and works with them to accentuate their natural gift, and develop where they lack. Choreographing is a place where she comes alive, and her parents (Irina and Vadim) provide AMAZING instruction as well. All of the staff at her studio is professional and hard-working. This studio provides more performance opportunities than any other Ive seen, giving students a chance to be in full-length ballets from the age of three or four.I personally attended the summer intensive this year, as well as have attended classes throughout the year. Of all the places Ive danced, I have never been in a more positive, caring, and professional environment to learn. I cannot say enough positive things about this place. I highly recommend this studio!

The experience I had while at Russian Ballet Orlando will be one that I will cherish and hold close to my heart forever. World-class instruction, exquisite company productions and the development of long lasting friendships. I came to RBO after taking a three year long break from dance and if it wasnt for Katerinas trust and belief in me, I probably would not be a part of the dance world today. Her direction and leadership is like no other and extremely professional. Every member of RBO is treated like family and you can sense that as soon as you take a step through the studio doors. This place reignited my passion for dance and I will always be grateful for Russian Ballet Orlando.

I’ve been here since I was 3 or 2 I can’t remember now I am 10 years old, all of the teachers treat the students with respect and have discipline but they also love you. They treat you like family♥️

Ms katerina is good

Katerina is amazing with the students. The students learn disciple, with love. They have many chances to perform throughout the year. Katerina gives back to the community opening up the studio to young students for a free ballet lesson 2x a month for those who might not be able to afford lessons. The summer camps are also a great learning experience, mixed with a lot of fun. Our family has been at this studio for many years. We have tried other places, but nothing compares. We are lucky to be a part of the RBO family!

I started my daughter out at the Russian Ballet Orlando when she was 2.5 ... She l loves the structure and grace of it all. Its helped her develop listening skills, motor skills and a passion. I love all of the people that work there... Its a second home.

A great place to take adult ballet and pointe classes.!The staff and dancers are very welcoming and friendly... even to a drop-in visitor as myself.They do teach Vaganova method which is a plus.! Their corrections are personalized, quick, and accurate.Thank You Katerina, Marissa, and Henry.!...awesome studio and classes.!

After searching and taking classes at many regional ballet studios, Ive come to the conclusion the Russian Ballet Orlando really is the best that Central Florida has to offer. It checks off everything on my list. Katerina (owner) really makes it a point to have a great working relationship with everyone who walks through their doors. The students who attend are all lovely human beings who make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Not to mention their talents and abilities are an attestment on their own of the quality the RBO is. And the instructors are all top notch in their field. I regularly take the adult classes with Henry (instructor). He has a wealth of knowledge in ballet and has a great way of getting his students to understand all the intricacies that is the vaganova method of ballet. Not only that but he makes class fun and makes us CRAVE going back. Ive made so many friends since starting there as have many others. Anytime I get asked about a good quality ballet studio, RBO is the only place I recommend.

Great place, Katerina is very talented and inviting artistic director

Beautiful studio, amazing knowledgeable teachers, and excellent structure! My daughter goes to the pre ballet here and i have never seen her so happy not to mention youre treated with the respect you give here. We have tried many different studios/academies in the area and none compare to the energy and skill of the Russian academy.

This studio is the best in Orlando!! The teachers are so kind and really care about you! They are always wanting to give you different opportunities! Highly recommend!!

I have been here since I was 5 and now Im 11 so 6 years. It has been the best thing ever.

Awesome dance school! The students get to really experience dance and perform in many shows! My children are so happy here!!

Great instructors, incredibly nice people, convenient class schedule, and overall superb experience.

I love this place!

We absolutely love it! High quality ballet instruction and a friendly staff!

I recently purchased a special deal this studio was promoting; 30 days of unlimited classes for 30 dollars. When I inquired about the special I specifically asked if classes would be canceled during the holiday break. I was told by that December 25th would be closed, and there might be cancellations of December 26th based on the number of students registered. A few days after that I noticed that all of their ballet classes offered from December 22nd through January 4th had in fact been canceled. This is half of the time I paid for. When I asked the studio what was going on, the executive director responded with an apology, and offered me two free ballet classes for my inconvenience. She stated that there was no way to extend the expiration date in their system. This means I’m just out of luck. If they can offer two ballet classes, they should be able to offer an additional two weeks of ballet classes to cover the time I paid for. This was false advertising and poor management on their part.

The best studio in Central Florida - the owner is the best!

Terrible so bad all they do is practicing for performances and dont do any real ballet like stretching or at the bar if they do its like for 10-29 minutes and then the practice for the shows its so bad very expensive too expensive i wasted my time there i go it 0 stars to many expensive THINGS you have to pay so unprofessional there are terrible they get a thumbs down terrible studio

Very unprofessional.

Highly recommend

Spacious light studio. Comfortable changing rooms for young ballerinas and waiting area for parents.Katerina, like her parents Vadim and Irina, are excellent professionals and very positive teachers.Were here at dress rehearsals before performing on the big stage.Usually we are engaged in the studio Alafaya.Minus: in the parking lot it is sometimes difficult to find a place.

My second home ... I will never forget every memory and learning I gained from RBO during my almost two years as a member. There are always those teachers who leave a big mark on you, and without them you probably are not the person you are today, those who make you realize that the limit does not exist. This means Katerina to me. RBO is more than a ballet academy, its family, its moments, and its every experience you get on stage throughout more than 15 shows a year. I love you and I will always love you !!!Second home ... I will never forget each memory that I got from RBO during my almost two years being a part of them. There are those teachers that leave a big learning on you, and probably without them, you wouldn’t be the person that you are today. Those teachers that make you realize limits doesn’t exist. That’s what Katerina means to me. RBO isnt just a ballet academy but a family, moments, and each experience that you get on stage along the year doing around 15 or more shows. I love you all and I will always do !!

So far everything I saw and the way we were received left me simply amazed !!
