The students of Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet in Saint Petersburg came for the tour to Japan, Kultura TV channel informed. Future stars of Russian ballet brought three performances. One of them is world famous Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky.

Russian ballet is very popular in Japan. Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet is well known there as the best school for ballet artists. Hundreds of thousands of people in Japan take choreography classes, and studying in Vaganova Academy remains an unattainable dream for them.

The Rector of the Academy Nikolay Tsiskaridze has been to Tokyo many times before. His first visit here happened when he was learning the basis of classical dance. According to him, no other country in the world knows and appreciates ballet so much. 

First performances will take place in Tokyo, and three days after, young artists will continue their tour around the country for almost three weeks. They will visit Utsunomiya, Fukuoka, Kobe, Osaka, Sendai and Iwate. Even Mariinsky Theatre’s recent tour was not that large.
