The School of Classical Ballet, Zagreb | 20 min

Poljana square

The School of Classical Ballet, Zagreb (Croatia)

Five choreographies, five different dance stories. From classical ballet to tango, from solos to group compositions, the students of the School of Classical Ballet from Zagreb present a programme that showcases the remarkable range of techniques and artistic voices developing within a single school. Each piece reflects the individual creativity of its performers, whether presenting original student choreographies or established repertoire. The result is a varied and vibrant evening that celebrates both tradition and emerging artistic independence.

The School of Classical Ballet in Zagreb is one of Croatia’s leading institutions for professional dance training. It offers a comprehensive curriculum that combines classical technique with creative development, preparing students for careers on the national and international stage. The school places a strong emphasis on artistic autonomy, encouraging students to create and perform their own choreographic work from an early stage in their training.
