Performance experience🩰✨

Performing on stage is a cornerstone of all our programs.

Performance experience is essential for aspiring professional ballet dancers as it allows them to apply their technical skills in real-world settings, build confidence, and develop stage presence. It provides the opportunity to refine artistry, adaptability, and emotional expression. Performing also helps dancers learn how to manage nerves, and deliver consistent, polished performances, all of which are crucial for a successful career in ballet🤍

Here are some words from Junior Artist Bianka Skenderi describing how the Ajkun Method has improved her skills🩰
•
“I am deeply thankful for the Ajkun Methodology and the wonderful training provided by Dr. Chiara Ajkun.
After 8 months of training, I feel much stronger and more confident in my dancing. This training has helped me build self trust, increase strength, and improve control over my movements and energy. By applying this method over time, I’ve noticed positive changes in both my physical health and mindset. I have gradually adapted to the increased difficulty in training by applying the correct alignment over muscle power.
Listening to and respecting my body has been a key part of this journey. I appreciate the professionalism and collaborative spirit of the training. It has been a wonderful experience!”🤍✨
