Welcome To

Akhmedova Ballet Academy’s (ABA) highest priority is everybody’s health, safety and sanity. The world health pandemic has affected everyone’s community and changed lives including ours.

Sincere appreciations to those who have donated. If you haven’t had a chance yet to support the cause, please consider a donation of any size and help us back on pointe. Our campaign is ongoing until we are allowed to open our doors again and through the summer to insure a great new beginning in September 2020 for all our students, staff and audiences.

Please send your donation via PayPal, through our website, or mail a check to 9511 St. Andrews Way, Silver Spring, MD 20901

For donation information: mme@akhmedovaballet.org

Doing our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we have closed our brand-new state-of-the-art studios. Your contribution will support virtual classes with essential new software and hardware. In order for ABA to open its doors again and get back on pointe as soon as this crisis is over, we urgently need your support to continue passing on the beauty, grace, intricacies and heritage of this classic art form.

This shutdown happened in the middle of our audition season for new students. It has been quite devastating for our summer intensives and year-round programs which recruit nationally and internationally. Students have canceled auditions and were unable to see our facilities. Because of the uncertainty of how long this situation will last and when audiences will return to the theater, ABA had to cancel our spring performance which is a significant revenue loss. We are unable to continue paying our esteemed faculty which might result in them not coming back to ABA.

TESTIMONIALS

Thank you for inviting Logan to teach class while he was up in Silver Spring on his break between performance seasons. He definitely does not forget his roots. He’s very grateful for the excellent training and mentoring he received from you, and he has said to me on many occasions that he knows he wouldn’t have such a perfect job right now with Richmond Ballet if you hadn’t taken him under your wing. I’ve always been so impressed that you gave, and continue to give, such individualized attention to every student and really seem to care deeply about the success of each one, professionally and personally. So we’re all very grateful to you and want to continue supporting you in any way we are able.

Abby Hillman – Graduate parent

“Every day, I realize more and more just how lucky I am to be able to call myself a graduate of the Akhmedova Ballet Academy. ABA is not only unique because of its semi-private class structure that provides each student with personal technical and artistic development, but also because of its warm and nurturing environment, neither of which would be possible without Madame Akhmedova ‘s constant hard work and dedication to each of her students. Madame Akhmedova‘s tutelage goes above and beyond producing strong and successful dancers; producing artists that are empowered with the knowledge that by being hard-working and respectful, as well as a good person, it is possible to achieve all of your goals. Mme. Akhmedova has been and continues to be the most wonderful and supportive mentor and teacher I could have ever asked for, and I am forever thankful. Everything Madame Akhmedova and my time at ABA taught me allowed me to embark on my professional career and I know I could not be where I am today without her.”
