In Washington.
This is truly a special place. The KIROV ACADEMY OF BALLET located behind Catholic University on Taylor Street (with a 4301 Harewood Rd. address peculiarly) is classical ballet at
its finest for children up to college age. What a beautiful sight.
Last night a spectacular Swan Lake and Midsummer's Night dream was performed by a
truly professional world class quality ballet. So beautiful. Swans moved with grace and flutter in beautiful white tutus and toe shoes gliding, pirouetting, jumping and swishing around the stage. Such a delightful evening. It is a full school where the kids get their academics from junior high through high school and are trained in classical ballet. They put on a performance for the public at the end of the school year that deserves to be at the Kennedy Center.
The Kirov used to be funded by the Moonies, but now no longer. It has retred itself hiring a bright Development Director and Executive Director from New York (Friedman) and vamped up classes to include offerings for kids aged 2-11 this summer as well as adult classes.
They also hired a world class Russian Ballerina fresh off the stage to direct and teach ballet classes. This is the real deal and you won't find better anywhere in the world. People in fact do come from all over the world sending their kids here now.

Robert E. Lucas is the Development Director recently hired. They would be most apprecitive for any private or grant funding. I encourage people to learn more about this inspirational academy in Washington. lucas@kirovadacemmydc.org
