Welcome to T&Y Ballet Studio – Where Passion Meets Excellence
At T&Y Ballet Studio, we bring a unique and professional approach to ballet training. Founded by Sabina Yapparova, a former Principal Ballerina of the Mikhailovsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, and Konstantin Tkachuk, a current dancer with the National Ballet of Canada.
Sabina trained for eight years in a professional ballet academy before embarking on her 22-year professional career in an academic theater. She has performed leading roles in classical ballet repertoire, as well as in contemporary productions, showcasing versatility and artistry.
Konstantin has performed principal and character roles in classical ballet productions and participated in modern ballet performances, creating unique and compelling roles. As part of the National Ballet of Canada, he performs the full company repertoire and collaborates with renowned choreographers from around the world, participating in their productions. His 16th season in the theater is ongoing, making his journey in ballet truly remarkable.
We have trained with legendary ballet masters, preserving the heritage of classical ballet while incorporating modern perspectives. Our students receive a comprehensive and innovative education, combining tradition with the latest trends in dance. We have also worked with renowned choreographers, performing in their productions, from classical masterpieces to contemporary ballets choreographed by the leading dance creators of our time.
We have performed on the best stages around the world, including St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kyiv, London, Paris, Tokyo, New York, Berlin, and Milan, and for us, ballet is not just an art form – it is a way of life.
