We offer a dynamic and diverse program designed to challenge students academically, while encouraging exploration and development of their creative and other inborn talents. A great deal was done behind the scenes to try to keep the school going but with the spending habits that developed when the money seemed endless it would not have been possible without major substantive budgeting changes.ArtsCalibre Academy is a small but highly reputable school whose mandate is to provide an outstanding, Arts-enriched education at an affordable cost. The endowment was gone and the matriarch of the school and a great mentor to me, Yelena Vinogradova, passed away. In the beginning every single student was on a full scholarship including airfares for holidays, clothes, and shoes. The school has always been admin heavy and spent too much money to provide the best for its students which included some wasteful spending. Trying to paint it as some type of cult activity posthumously is disingenuous at best. I got to dance with the Kirov Ballet, ABT, and Boston Ballet never having been born with a natural physique.

I owe my entire career to the training I received at this school. Mostly we spent our time studying classical ballet from some of the best dancers and pedagogues in the world and trying to find time to be teenagers. There was never any mention of religion to us either in class or out except to make sure that everyone had transportation to their place of worship on the day they wanted to go. I graduated from this school in the first class.
