Our Story
Various ballet competitions are offered across the country for young students to unite and display their talent. The D.C. metro area lacks a large, international ballet competition, thus preventing many students who may not have the means to travel an opportunity to compete. The Classical Ballet Theatre of Maryland, the official 501(c)3 non profit ballet company of L'Etoile, The Russian Ballet Academy of Maryland, exists to give all students in the area the chance to receive world-class ballet training and education. It is through that effort of bringing ballet to all that we founded the Washington D.C. Grand Prix.
