BBA Student, Jordan Lian invited to study at Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow

Mountain View Teen Invited to study at Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow Jordan Lian, 16, Bayer Ballet Academy, click for more photos Mountain View, CA - September 8, 2011 - Jordan Lian (16), a student of Bayer Ballet Academy (BBA) got the kind of invitation every young dancer dreams of - after attending their summer program in New York City, Ms. Lian was invited to study year-round at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow, Russia. Also known as the State Academy of Choreography, this is the affiliate school of the Bolshoi Ballet Company. There are few paths to dancing on the big stage and few more rigorous and promising then studying at the Bolshoi. "Jordan is a beautiful dancer. Both hardworking and talented, she has accomplished much in her year with us." says Inna Bayer, founder and artistic director of the Bayer Ballet Academy in Mountain View and Jordan's teacher, coach and friend for the last year. "Being asked to join the students in their Moscow program in not just proof of Jordan's commitment and talent but to the quality of training at our young school. They look for technique as well as talent, especially in teenaged dancers, talent alone won't suffice." explained Ms. Bayer. In addition to a full classload at Bayer Ballet Academy, Jordan attended two Bayer Ballet Academy summer intensives whose pedagogy is led by a former Bolshoi Ballet Academy instructor Margarita Yussim and by Ms. Bayer who trained at the State Academy of Choreography and Dance in Voronezh, Russia and who toured internationally as a principal dancer of the Kiev Classical Ballet Theater. Bayer Ballet Academy (BBA), a young, growing school in Mountain View prides itself its attention to the kind of details that help a dancer tap her potential. BBA helps dancers at every level develop the discipline and skills to work at their maximum potential using the methods of Agrippinna Vaganova, the famed teacher of George Balanchine, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Anna Pavlova, Maria Seminova, and many others at the Vaganova School of Ballet in St. Petersberg. Meanwhile, the Bayer Ballet Academy (BBA) extends it hearty congratulations to Ms. Lian. Students from the Bayer Ballet Academy have been accepted at prestigious summer programs at American Ballet Theater, San Francisco Ballet, Bolshoi (NYC), New York City Ballet School, Royal Ballet School in London as well as as year round programs such as the Bolshoi in Moscow and the Kirov Academy in Washington, DC. "We wish Jordan continued success in striving to reach new heights in her artisty and technique and in improving her ballet skills," continued Ms Bayer.

ABOUT BAYER BALLET
The Bayer Ballet Academy (BBA) was founded by Inna Bayer in 2005 to teach the Vaganova method of classical ballet instruction to young students on the Peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area. The Bayer Ballet Company (BBC) was launched in 2010 by Inna Bayer to provide serious, pre-professional performance opportunities for young dancers and a showcase for our unique blend of classical, character and contemporary dance.

Ms. Bayer, a professional ballet mistress with extensive teaching experience in Russia, the Ukraine, Israel and the USA, led the school through significant growth in just a few years. Ms. Bayer's students have demonstrated exceptional results and have been accepted into prestigious summer programs including those of the Kirov and the Bolshoi ballet schools. Our 2009 Winter show "A Winter Tale" received an enthusiastic response from its audience of over 500 at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts.

Students in the academy range from age three through pre-professional level. For those interested in pursuing dance careers or those for whom classical training is an end in itself, the BBA offers excellent ballet training in a warm and friendly environment. Special attention is given to develop each child by focusing on their special strengths and talents.

Ms. Bayer produces two shows each year, one in the Winter and one in the Spring and the school recently started its youth company (Bayer Ballet Company) which also makes special appearances throughout the year.
