I am so grateful for Inna! She is the only ballet teacher in our area who has such an impressive repertoire and has danced in the most prestigious theaters in the world. Not to mention she is so sweet and it is always such a pleasure to take class from her. No matter your skill level or age she will make sure you reach your full potential. We are so lucky to have her here in Rochester every dancer (adult, or child) should take classes from Inna!

Inna is a phenomenal ballet teacher! I started 7 years ago as an adult beginner and get so much joy from her classes and the chances I got to be part of the Nutcracker. She treats adults as serious learners which is perfect for me. She is the only teacher in the area with such a strong background in the highly respected Vaganova method. She graduated from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy after years of study and as a professional ballerina acquired working knowledge of an extensive classical repertoire which she now passes on to her students. Plus I have found her to be upbeat, encouraging and kind. If you want the very best, check out Inna Ballet!

What an absolute gem of a studio. My daughter began her ballet studies with Inna at the tender age of three. It was love at first step. She’s now in her eighth year at Inna Ballet. Authentic Vaganova instruction from a Bolshoi Academy graduate and former professional dancer. Unique in the greater Rochester and Finger Lakes region.

Best ballet studio in Rochester! Inna is great.

Inna Ballet is awesome! Inna’s adult classes are perfect for anyone who has never danced to beg\inter level. Not many adult classes out there in ROC so class is usually pretty full with around 10-15 people. Classes are year round even in the summer! Price is around $12-13 per class which is the average rate in the area. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. Inna is very kind, energetic, patient, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her school to anyone!

This is REAL ballet taught by a Bolshoi graduate. If you are serious about receiving the best instruction possible, this is the place.

Training with Inna is a dream come true! Being new to ballet, it’s wonderful to work with someone with her incredible background, who is clear and precise in instruction, cares so much about every detail of form, and endlessly patient and kind. She perfectly blends hard work with fun, I can’t imagine a better teacher!
