Scarlet’s selection is a true testament to her dedication and the high level of training she’s received at PBA. **Scarlet’s Ballet Journey** Scarlet Lealand joined Pryntsev Ballet Academy at just 7 years old with a clear goal: to receive professional ballet training. From the very beginning, she told us, *“My dream is to dance at the Paris Opera Ballet School in France.”* With that vision, she made the choice to leave commercial dance and fully commit to classical ballet. **From a Dream to Paris** Thanks to her natural talent, strong work ethic, and consistent training, Scarlet has now been accepted to the Paris Opera Ballet School Summer Intensive — one of the most prestigious ballet programs in the world. This accomplishment is a direct result of years of focused training at PBA and Scarlet’s dedication to her craft. **Milestones and Competitions** Since February 2023, Scarlet has participated in national ballet competitions including: • Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) – placing in Top 12 and Top 24 • California Dance Classics – awarded Top 10 in Classical Solo Her growth has been steady, and her confidence continues to shine both in the studio and on stage. **A Message from Mr. Pryntsev** “I’ve always believed in Scarlet. Ballet is a long journey. You must be patient. There will be rejections. But if you keep moving forward, you’ll get it all.” **What’s Next?** We’re incredibly proud of Scarlet and all she has achieved — and we’re excited to see where her journey takes her next. *Interested in high-level ballet training for your child?* **Explore our programs at Pryntsev Ballet Academy.Written by Mr. Ivan Pryntsev** Founder & Artistic Director, Pryntsev Ballet Academy
