While getting ready for the graduation of the first class of students “The Governorate Ballet School” (College) affiliated with the National Ballet “Kostroma" is getting ready to have its attestation with the following state accreditation. The Administration, the College Council and the Founder do not doubt the high level of the graduates' training in theoretical subjects as well as in professional disciplines. There have been worked out three original programs, a lot of methodical projects and procedures; the College can also be proud of its teaching experience. The students are taught to love their Motherland and Russian traditional art of dance. Considering the fact that it is very hard to find specialized literature the College has managed to collect in five years quite a large library of books on special disciplines, memoirs and fiction. It is also subscribed for topical newspapers and magazines which are easily accessible for the students. "The Governorate Ballet School" (College) affiliated to the National Ballet Kostroma is planning to show the students' diploma project performance on the 29th of April 2007. The concert is going to take place in the Concert and Exhibition Center “Gubernsky”; it is intended to coincide with the International Day of Dance.
The concert program includes practically all the special disciplines taught in the College, that is classic dance, folk stage dance, professional practice, acting skills, fencing, academic folk dance, historical dance, basics of playing a musical instrument and so on. The second year students and the students of the “Children Dance School” (the second ballet class and the junior group) are going to participate in the concert.
The purpose of the concert is not just to show to those whishing to see what the College can do but it is also the final stage of the attestation when the committee can get the general idea about the College performance.
