Budapest Ballet Grand Prix is strongly devoted to its educational mission, prioritising ballet education as a long-term perspective of the ballet competition and its synergic events, such as BBGP Coaching and Pre Selection in the summer and Masterclasses held by great professionals during the competition.
As a result of the synergy between Hungarian Dance Universitiy’s #ISIBC (International Summer Intensive Ballet Course) and Budapest Ballet Grand Prix 2025, a side Coaching and pre-selection program not only elevated the experience, but also offered applicants exposure to top-tier performance by participating in 1-1 coaching classes with world-renowned professionals. Following Anita Magyari (Teatro alla Scala Milan) in the first year, Aki Saito (former Jury member of BBGP and Prix de Lausanne), Brit Juleen (Dresden Semperoper Ballet) and – returning for the third time – Kim Ji-Young (Dutch National Ballet, Korean National Ballet, Kyung Hee University) not only held ballet masterclasses during the international intensive course but also fostered the growth of BBGP applicants both in artistry and technique of their individual variations in 1-1- coaching classes.
