2015년 8월 발레 헤리티지(Ballet Heritage)는 발레의 본거지 러시아 상트－페테르부르그에서 서머 아카데미를 자랑스럽게 선보였습니다. 학생들은 긴장과 흥분으로 도착했습니다. 세계에서 가장 유명한 발레스타들에게 배울 수 있다는 기회에 그들이 진정하기가 힘들었지만 걱정할 필요가 없었습니다. 발레 헤리티지의 모든 선생님들이 흥분한 학생들에게 익숙해져서 그들은 항상 우호적이면서도 성취되어야 할 기대치는 잊지 않았습니다. 즉, 학생들이 열심히 공부하고 여름 아카데미가 끝날 때는 모든 지식과 기교를 자신의 것으로 만들어 가져간다는 것입니다. 참가한 학생들은 열심히 수업했고, 듣고, 질문하고, 선생님들에게 많은 경의를 표했고, 답례로 선생님들은 자신의 모든 것을 주었습니다. 그들은 학생들과 함께 기뻐했으며 발레 헤리티지와 함께 많은 시간을 보냈습니다.
우리는 여름 아카데미가 연례행사가 될 것을 약속드리며, 현재 발레학교에 다니는 12세 이상 학생들을 위한 집중교육 프로그램을 제공하기 위해 이번에 3번째 여름 아카데미를 조직하게 되어 매우 기쁘게 생각합니다.
문화 프로그램이 발레 프로그램과 함께 포함되어 참가자들에게 상트－페테르부르그의 문화적 삶과 명소를 소개하고 추가행사도 가능합니다. 우리는 또한 '교사 교육' 프로그램을 제공하고 있습니다.
이 수업을 맡게 될 선생님은 A.Y 바가노바(Vaganova) 러시아 발레아카데미에서 교사 자격증을 받은 선생님입니다. 선생님들은 러시아 밖에서 온 클래식발레 교사들이 가지고 있는 지식을 토대로 3주 집중과정을 제공할 것입니다. 모든 참가자는 바가노바 메서드에 대한 강좌를 수료했음을 증명하는 증서를 받게 됩니다.
2018년 여름에 수요가 많은 관계로 우리는 두 세션의 프로그램을 제공 할 것이며 두 세션 모두 러시아 상트－페테르부르그에서 개최될 것입니다. 첫 번째 세션은 7월 9일-28일, 두 번째 세션은 7월 30일-8월 18일. 무용수 프로그램에 참여하려면 12세 이상이어야 하며 교사 프로그램은 최소 18세 이상이어야 합니다. 발레 학생들과 발레교사 모두를 위한 프로그램이 동시에 주 6일간 진행됩니다. 프로그램의 형식은 아침식사 후에 수업이 시작되고 점심식사 후에 1-2개 수업이 계속 진행됩니다.
이 후, 오후에는 문화 프로그램이 전체적으로 열리며, 저녁에는 학생들과 교사가 자신의 프로그램을 진행할 수 있는 여유가 있습니다. 그러나 극장, 박물관 등에 대한 추가여행은 발레 헤리티지를 통해 가능합니다.

Irina Kolpakova
technique &variations
One of the 20th centuries most talented ballerinas, Irina Kolpakova studied under one of ballet’s most prestigious teachers, founder of the Vaganova method in St. Petersburg, the wonderful Agrippina Vaganova herself.
Irina is the embodiment of all that ballet wishes to be. Her dance was distinguished by the ideal form, crystal purity of lines, striking lightness. Her style of dance mirrored perfectly her personality and disposition. It has been said that ‘her perfect art is calm, without any pathos and strain, convincing us that the ideals of kindness, love, beauty are eternal’.
The virtuosity that Irina Kolpakova displayed often surpassed other performers and her interpretations of major roles of the classical repertoire, including Giselle, Raymonda, La Sylphide, Masha (Clara) in the Nutcracker, Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty, were all danced with an unparalleled understanding of Petipa’s style and Tchaikovsky’s music which all contributed to her quick rise to Prima Ballerina.
Her talents continued to blossom when she took on new roles with contemporary choreographers, such as Yuri Grigorovich, Igor Belsky, Leonid Yakobson, Natalia Kasatkina and Vladimir Vasilyev, creating roles from Shirin in the Legend of Love and Katerina in the Stone Flower, to Eve in the Creation of the World.
In more recent times, Irina has shared her unique experience with young dancers, as ballet mistress and coach at the Kirov (Mariinsky) Theatre, the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) and Ballet Internationale. Throughout her career this exceptionally talented dancer has won many prizes and accolades, amongst them the prestigious People’s Artist of the USSR and the highest award of recognition by her government.

He was known as a slender dancer with a proud bearing and elegant manner. His light and airy jumps much admired, leading to him becoming one of the main performers of the roles of noble heroes. Vladlen was taller than the norm at the time, but this became an absolute advantage when he danced duets, making the ballerina look especially fragile and feminine. He used these natural qualities to form an expressive, emotional and inspired performance, which was noted and praised by the ballet critics at the time.
A classical dancer of the purest academic standard and a ‘pas de deux’ master, he became the desired partner of many ballerinas. However, it was Irina Kolpakova, who captured his heart and not only became his dancing partner, but his wife too. Their duets were acclaimed across Russia, as well as abroad. Vladlen began teaching at the Vaganova Academy whilst still at the peak of his dance career and this continued until 1998 when he moved to the USA to join Ballet Internationale as ballet master and coach. Vladilen Semenov talents were recognised in his homeland and he was awarded People’s Artist of the USSR in 1983.
