XVI International Young Dancers Festival 2023 Malaysia - Closing Ceremony

The International Young Dancers Festival is a cultural exchange initiative formed in 2003, co-founded by Beata Ksiazkiewicz (Poland), Vladimir Issaev (USA), and Bogumilo Gauden (Denmark). Each year, numbers of schools from around the world gather to share their passion for dance, take classes with master teachers, conduct performances and forge lasting friendships. 

Malaysia, organised by Asia Ballet Academy, is proud to host the Festival in 2023  as part of its efforts to promote the arts and cultural tourism.

Asia Ballet Academy
Perfecting the arts, creating the future

Through Vaganova teaching methods, we aim to cultivate students’ technical capabilities in classical ballet while nurturing their artistic growth as dancers. Further, we strive to strengthen pupils’ whole-person development by the education of moral standards and ethical values alongside professional ballet training. This is accomplished by a carefully constructed combination of routine classroom learning of dance, music and painting, on top of community outreach activities, performances and competitions.
