Mirjam Rohrbach Ballet
Ballet School
In spring 2017, I founded the ballet school “Mirjam Rohrbach Ballett” in the beautiful premises of the newly opened “l'adresse für Bewegungskultur” in Muri bei Bern. Around 150 enthusiastic students now attend classes at my ballet school. I teach all levels from beginners to pre-professional dancers, and all ages from children aged around three to adults. The focus is on the technical and artistic skills of classical ballet, which are developed in a targeted and continuous manner. The most important part of the training is always that the students enjoy themselves.
​
Mirjam's ballet students will be bringing us closer to the grace and beauty of dance with their performances.
