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 based upon European methods of curriculum and pedagogy. A portion of its students graduate into some of the finest ballet companies including American Ballet Theatre, Washington Ballet, National Ballet of Croatia, Pennsylvnia Ballet and others.

The school program is modelled 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 year 2007.

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