We were thrilled to welcome guest teacher, Sergei Upkin last week!

Mr. Upkin’s interpretations of leading roles in both classical and contemporary repertoire have taken him to stages around the world. A medalist in many international ballet competitions, he is a graduate of the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg. While Mr. Upkin was a member of the Berlin State Ballet, two of his performing colleagues were Nutmeg graduates Quinn Pendleton and Dominic Hodal. Simultaneously with his current position as Principal Dancer with the Estonian National Ballet in Tallinn, he teaches at MUBA, Tallinn’s premier ballet academy, as well as guest teaching in Paris, Liege and Helsinki.

The commitment of The Nutmeg’s faculty and guest artists is to utilize this ideal combination of experiences to prepare students for the demands of 21st century professional dance companies. Additionally, the school maintains a full Conservatory Academic Program (CAP) that provides educational options as well as full college preparation for students who endeavor to further their academic careers in a university setting.
