MEET YOUR FACULTY: Elena Serykh
Elena began performing at the age of 6 with her Professional Dance Academy School Troupe. Her training continued at the GITIS, prestigious Russian Academy of Art, Theatre, and Dance. After a 25-year professional career in both teaching and performing, Elena is incredibly proud to be the owner of Premiere Dance Academy, teaching Russian technique ballet, ballroom, folk dance, contemporary and modern dance, and acrobatic Rock & Roll. Elena Serykh and her late husband, Vadim, are both professionally trained in their respective disciplines. They have performed worldwide, including Carnival Cruise Lines and have received several of the highest honors available in their native country, Russia, as well as the USA. Before taking over the ownership of the studio, Elena and Vadim were the star attraction on the Branson Showboat as the acrobatic adagio dance couple for 10 years. Elena maintains a standard of excellence for the level of teaching at the studio; all of the faculty have had extensive performance and education and teaching experience and training. Elena has recently had the honor of choreographing for the Warner Brothers! Polar Express, Kenny Rogers’ Toy Shoppe, Silver Dollar City WorldFest, Showboat Branson Bell, American Theater, The Texas Tenors, Country Star Billy Dean, Pierce Arrow Theater, and Nashville Roadhouse Live Show.
