15.01.2009 Classic dance at a new level

For the first time in seven years this year “The Russian National Ballet “Kostroma” and “The Governorate Ballet School” Dance College signed a contract for a long-term collaboration with a teacher of an international standing. Konstantin Sergeevich Matveev, a graduate of Moscow Academy of Choreography affiliated with the Bolshoi Theatre, the soloist of the Kremlin Ballet, Katerina Maksimova’ last partner, Honoured Artist of the Russian Federation awarded with the medal to commemorate the 850th anniversary of Moscow, has become a permanent teacher of classic dance.

Teachers of an international level used to come to Kostroma only for master classes and, as a rule, for a very short period of time.

Today Konstantin Sergeevich gladly shares his professional experience of a brilliant artist and a demanding teacher and devotes himself to educating the future generation of “The Russian National Ballet “Kostroma” artists. Konstantin Matveev teaches classic and duet dance disciplines to the students of “The Governorate Ballet School” and a daily classic excercice to the ballet artists.

The main target of the dance school "The Governorate Ballet School” is to train young, strong and skilled generations of dancers for “The Russian National Ballet “Kostroma” by combining traditional and experimental educational methods, by instilling patriotism and awakening the feeling of love towards Russian history and culture.
