About Us

Rocky Mountain Conservatory (RMC) is a new studio that is the offspring of the Rocky Mountain Ballet Academy that was founded in 2017 by Alexei Tyukov and Maria Tyukova. Still under the direct guidance from Maria Tyukov, RMC will continue to deliver on the same principled attention and focus on classical ballet training and contemporary dance, this time, in a smaller focused practice that is geared towards the pre-professional and committed dancer looking for the next step in their dancing journey.

We are here to deliver the next generation of talent for pre-professional and professional dance opportunities across the US and beyond and be a mainstay in Colorado’s future in dance.
