OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The Vaganova curriculum employed by IBC provides ballet students with a structured, scientific dance methodology and encompasses a holistic, pedagogical approach that goes beyond basic technique. It takes the human anatomy into consideration and emphasizes both technical prowess and artistic creativity.
There is equal emphasis on all programs at IBC. In addition, all enrolled students will have the opportunity to participate in professional productions.
Students at IBC receive training based on the Vaganova method, a 300-year-old foundation of excellence that has produced some of finest dancers, choreographers, and teachers of all time. The curriculum for each level is designed in a specific way to help children to progress in a safe and healthy environment; students are assigned age-appropriate class hours for maximum progress within a given level’s curriculum.
IBC’s program fuses the finest classical ballet instruction with the very best of modern and contemporary training. We are committed to honoring tradition and inspiring innovation in the classroom as well as onstage.
Built upon a 300‐year foundation of excellence, IBC’s mission is to fuse the finest classical ballet instruction with the very best of contemporary and modern training in a professional and nurturing environment, providing all students the opportunity to thrive and achieve their goals.
IBC strives to share the art of dance through performances as well as outreach programs for the underserved, and to instill in its students the desire to give back in a way that will change lives and connect a community.
