TCM Russian Ballet Traditions

A ballet star or a star teacher gives their signature lesson — a full class from the barre to grand allegro. Dance it yourself, learn it at home, teach your own students from it. With an explanation of what each combination develops, and musical accompaniment for every one. Access by subscription or separate purchase.

A star's signature lesson
Methods and courses give youa system. A master class gives youa star's signature lesson— living combinations you take back to your own studio.

Every class is a ready-made signature lesson by a master: a complete lesson from the barre and centre to turns and small and large jumps, with an explanation of what each combination develops and what to work on. It is a recording, not a live correction — the master does not correct you in person. But the lesson stays with you: learn it yourself, repeat it as training, teach your own classes from it. Musical accompaniment is included. Access by subscription or separate purchase.

Musical accompaniment

Music tracks come with the lesson — one for each combination

A separate musical accompaniment for each combination of the class: you can practise at home or teach without a live accompanist. The tracks come with the master class — on the lesson page, beside the video.

What makes it unique

A touch ofthe great school

A master's signature class usually lives only in the rehearsal studio — few ever see it. Here that work is opened to you: the authentic Russian school, as it is, without adaptations or retellings.

For those who dance — the chance to study with a master calmly and at your own pace. For those who teach — living material and music for your own classes. And the collection of classes keeps growing.

A master's work
A class of a level usually open only to a few.
For those who teach
A signature lesson with music — for classes in your own studio.
At your own pace
Pause, replay, frame-by-frame study — thoughtfully and without rush.
A growing collection
New masters and classes appear over time.
