Does anyone know of any good Ballet companies in Memphis, TN?

When I was younger my sister and I attended a really good Ballet school and I would really like to get back into taking. The only thing is that I am really stuck up about how good the teacher is. If anyone knows of any please let me know!

Dmitri Roudnev with the Children's Ballet (don't worry - he does adults, too) is supposed to be excellent. Check out http://www.balletchildren.com/ and click on the Buckman Theater Ballet Program

and Erin Walter link.



From the website - Dmitri Roudnev is a master ballet teacher and dancers come from across the country to train privately with him.



Dmitri Roudnev trained for eight years at the renowned Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow, Russia. He joined the Bolshoi Ballet, under the direction of the great U.N. Grigorovich, as soloist. He has performed around the world including Japan, Turkey, Canada, Germany and America in the principal lead roles of Giselle, Swan Lake, Paquita, Balanchine鈥檚 Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux, Don Quixote. In addition he performed the Coppellia Pas de deux with the Kirov Ballet at the Winter Palace and was special guest star for the Fernando Bujones Gala in Miami.



Dmitri directed the Dmitri Roudnev Ballet School of Chicago for seven years before he and Mary Van Dyke Roudnev moved to Memphis. He is director of the Ballet Intensive from Moscow in Illinois and serves as director of the USA National Youth Ballet Competition sponsored by Russian Pointe held in Long Beach, CA and Washington DC. Roudnev is also a ballet coach for Olympic pair and single skaters. He developed a special ballet training program for World Champion pairs skaters Tatiana Taminyana and Maxim Marinin. The couple worked with him in their preparations for the Olympics 2002 and Olympics 2006 where they won the coveted gold medal prize.
