Vania Vrondi’s School is a little bit different. It is the only one that continuously succeed to bring parents, children and teachers together into one purpose. Professional evolution. A lesson does not stop immediately after the time is finished. Vania Vrondi is preoccupied to give children a reason for practice, for learning, to become better, a reason to dream. As the Imperial Russian Academy Vania Vrondi in Cyprus is meant to pursue its results through the Art Devotion Performing and Creative Center, a nonprofit organization meant to help artists to reach their main goal: The Stage!
Vania Vrondi started the school in 1998 by introducing Cyprus into the marvelous Art of Classical Russian Ballet. Being graduated of one of the most prestigious ballet schools in Russia: Classical Ballet and Choreography at MA University of Moscow GITIS she devoted herself into teaching Vaganova ballet method to all children passionate of the classical ballet. And there are not so many Ballet schools in Cyprus that dears to do so as this requires more serious work, more passionate desire for dance and why not an open ear to one of the most beautifully classical pieces of music.
Children responded by joining the Ballet classes with desire to learn, practice as real professional ballet dancers. Here we can mention just a few of the International Competitions won by Vania's students:
Finals of International Ballet Competition in Luxemburg – Dimitra Theodorou.
Finals of the World Dance Competition-American Youth Grand Prix ( New York, USA ) –Varvara Bortsova.
Finals of Cyprus Ballet Competition –Elisabeth Kiriakou.

Vania did not stop dreaming and she decided that her students want and deserve much more. She is the only one that introduces a Ballet Intensive Training Summer School Program in Cyprus with Teachers from Bolshoi Theater for students starting 4 years old to adults. All passionate ballet lovers joined these classes benefit by the lessons of the Experienced Russian Teachers!
