Olympic Ballet School’s Competition Team offers dedicated students in the Classical Ballet Division the opportunity to advance their training through participation in major international ballet competitions, including the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) and the American Dance Competition | International Ballet Competition (ADC|IBC).

Under the expert guidance of Artistic Directors Mara Vinson and Oleg Gorboulev, students receive personalized coaching to prepare classical and contemporary solos, as well as group ensembles. These carefully coached pieces are rehearsed for months in advance, allowing dancers to develop technical excellence, stage artistry, and a deeper understanding of classical repertoire.

Participation in the Competition Team is by invitation only and requires availability for rehearsals, coaching, and travel during competition season.
