Surely every little girl has dreamed of being a ballerina. An art that is so beautiful and graceful. Prima Ballerina Dilyana Nikiforova is real proof of that, offering a summer ballet school in a small village in the Elena area of the Balkan range.

Marian's Ballet School is a two-week summer academy for children from seven to 18 years of age, divided into three categories for beginners, medium-advanced and advanced, which takes place in the village of Marian. The initiator of the school is Dilyana Nikiforova, Prima Ballerina at the National Opera and Ballet. Each year, about 40 children take part. Since 2011, a total of 235 children have passed through the school, with more than half of the advanced group being admitted to various ballet universities around the world.
