Private Nilay Ballet Course

Our institutions, which began their educational journey in Bakırköy in 1998 and in Zekeriyaköy in 2014, have shaped their educational approach by preserving their sincere and passionate spirit while continuously developing both artistically and academically.

With our experienced teachers, who are graduates of conservatory ballet departments, have pedagogical formation, and approach children with love and understanding, we aim not only to provide an academic education process but also to raise contemporary individuals with artistic awareness and developed musical and rhythmic perception.

Our education begins with a nursery-level preparatory ballet class for children aged 3. For students aged 7 and above, the academic ballet education process begins. At the end of each academic year, students take a grade advancement exam. Students who have previously received ballet education may also be placed into intermediate levels through a placement exam.

At the end of the education period, successful students are awarded a diploma certified by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of National Education. Students who are entitled to receive this diploma may work as ballet instructors in schools as “Master Instructors.” In addition, some of our graduates continue their professional careers as instructors and dancers in well-known dance companies.

Private Nilay Ballet Course provides dual-certificate ballet education based on the internationally recognized professional ballet system, the “Vaganova Method,” in collaboration with the Ministry of National Education certification program and the Ballet Arts Department of New Bulgarian University.
