VKIBC

The Valentina Kozlova International Ballet Competition was born from a desire to give young dancers a platform to compete in a fair, unpolitical forum. VKIBC has quickly gained an international reputation for its fair scoring. Judges' scores are based exclusively on the abilities of the dancer and are not influenced by status of school, coach or teacher. Dancers ranging from age 9 in the Youth Division, through professionals to the age of 26 in the Senior Division assemble for several days of competition. Dancers are scored meticulously by an esteemed panel of judges, all extremely qualified and reputable in their fields of expertise.

Valentina Kozlova has vast experience as a competitor, renowned coach and international judge. She understands the conflicts and demands put before both judge and dancer. Because of this VKIBC strives to insure every competitor is scored fairly on technique, artistic interpretation and musicality.
