ABC-Tokyo Ballet

We support dancers who want to join foreign companies, and we are proud when our dancers start professional careers abroad. We offer information and contacts, especially with our partners in the US (Atlantic Contemporary Ballet Theatre www.acbt.org) and Vienna (Vienna State Opera Ballet School). "First of all I must congratulate for Rio and Christian's courage to open a Ballet Company, the ABC-Tokyo Company, with the admirable intention to handle the dancers male and female equally and pay them on professional terms. Of course we will welcome your students to the Conservatory Vienna when you send them to us. They are well prepared in the Vaganova Ballet system and can be developed on a professional level as well as your students showed. We are since September 2004 on a university status and the students are getting a degree. We wish you for your future plans lot of success."
