Ballet International

What has happened to Ballet International of Indianapolis? I looked for their web site and found it to no longer be functional. Woud appreciate any info.

 

Thanks much in advance...Doug.

Ballet Internationale closed its doors in November. Here's the thread:

Ballet Internationale Closes

 

The discussion of the closing starts near the bottom (pg 2) and continues for the rest of the thread.

Ballet Internationale - formerly of Indianapolis is no more: BI SI/Clara Noyes - check out the last couple of pages starting in about November.

Thanks much for the info. Every indication was that it was history but I appreciate the links that will give me more info.

 

Those very links may well answer my next question which is, what happened to Irena Kolpakova and her husband, both of whom were associated with the school and company.

 

Again, my appreciation for the links.

 

Regards...cdm

They are now associated with The Russian Ballet Academy of Indiana (RBAI). She is the assistant artistic director and he is the principal of the academy. He is also teaching some of the girls and boys classes. My son (age 11) feels very honored to have him as his teacher.

Where is Eldar Aliev at now?

He is acting as an artistic consultant for the Cincinnati ballet for the rest of their season. This is total speculation but its my belief that he, Victoria Morgan, and their new Executive Director may be considering the logistics of becoming a twin city company. Indianapolis is only 2 and half hours away.
