Valentina Kozlova announces her new Trainee Program designed to help dancers transition from the studio and increase their chances to audition successfully, to medal in competitions, and to achieve their goal of dancing professionally. The Program includes technique classes and coaching by Ms. Kozlova, training in repertoire, preparation for the Kozlova and other international competitions, unlimited classes at Kozlova’s Dance Conservatory in Norwalk, Ct., and performing opportunities. Moscow-born Kozlova trained at the Bolshoi School and was a principal dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet and, after defecting to the U.S., with New York City Ballet at the invitation of George Balanchine. Audition is open to dancers ages 18 to 24. If you cannot attend the July 21st audition, please contact vkdcny@gmail.com to arrange an audition. To register, e-mail vkdcny@gmail.com.
