What customers say about us

My time at BMBA was truly irreplaceable, filled with learning, discovery, and unforgettable experiences. Having the opportunity to perform on stage in Germany and to study seriously every day under such wonderful teachers was an incredible privilege.
The experiences and lessons I gained there are treasures that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. My heart is full of gratitude.

Saaya Suzuki

I spent one year at Benedict – Manniegel international ballet academy and I have never progressed that much during such a short time.

What I like about the school is that the teachers are very experienced. They are teaching traditional Vaganova Method that gives you a strong classical base for professional dancers. Also, they care about every detail which is important.

We do a lot of performances and rehearsals that prepare students for their future life in theatres. This is such a great experience.

The city of Munich is very enjoyable and safe. The people are very kind and helpful. There are many parks around the city. The biggest one (English Garten) is just a few hundred meters away from the school.

To summarize the school is an excellent door opener for entering a renowned public school or a company and helps to improve strongly your techniques as well as scene experience.

Sophie Debou

Great ballet school run by a passionate team of teachers and choreographers. Have an excellent professional program for those willing to make a career in dancing.
Small groups, many hours of training, participation in professional performance on the scene.
Very experienced “true” teachers that help students moving forward and not doing it just for the sake of money like in some private school.
I can only warmly recommend this school!
