Academy of dances of Boris Eifman

In 1977 Boris Eifman creates own troupe, "The Leningrad New ballet", known to theater-goers of the whole world as the St. Petersburg state academic ballet theater under the leadership of Boris Eifman today. The concept of "The new ballet" was innovative for the time and courageous – it was initially created as author's, director's theater, experimental laboratory of one choreographer.

The important stage in life of theater began in 2009 when the Government of St. Petersburg made the decision on the beginning of construction of Academy of dance of Boris Eifman as which initiator of creation the choreographer acted. Now construction of buildings of this unique educational institution of the innovation type is almost complete, and in September, 2013 it will have to accept the first pupils.

Enrichment of the ballet repertoire of modern Russia and implementation of these two strategic projects – the main reference points in long-term plans of the ballet master and his theater.
