3. A Professional Dance Career
Make sure you search the teacher name if they performed professionally and abroad. Performing abroad is very important because ballet is an international education. Reading a bio from a website can be vague, so broaden your search! Also, some faculty members that graduated from a local school and studied intensively, with teachers that hold Diplomas from mentioned schools above, have a good value to the dance school. If they continue their education after they turn 18 and have teaching experience in such dance schools, they are a good asset to a dance program.

What is the Best Ballet Method?
The other methods are all still good methods of teaching ballet, however the Vaganova method is now recognized as the foremost training method and syllabus of the classical ballet the world over.
