Our Team.
Founded in 1993 by Ami Bremer, our studio quickly became nationally recognized for its award-winning clogging program. In 2009, renowned Russian Ballet Master Elena Serykh took the helm, bringing a new vision that blended classical ballet training with well-rounded dance education. This foundation has fueled the success of our highly decorated competition team and shaped the future of our dancers.
​
Today, Serykh Conservatory of Dance is known for providing a safe, supportive, and inspiring space for students of all ages—whether they dance for fun, personal growth, or professional aspirations. Each year, more than 125 dancers, ages 3 to 70, travel from over 10 communities across Missouri and Arkansas to train in our state-of-the-art studios. Students commit anywhere from one to six days a week, immersing themselves in a variety of programs—from school-year classes and summer intensives to masterclasses with visiting artists, performances, and competitions.
​
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the dance floor. We foster discipline, perseverance, and confidence—qualities that help our students shine both on stage and in life. Many of our graduates continue their dance journeys in prestigious university programs, professional companies, or as passionate advocates for the arts. Above all, our mission is to nurture not just talented dancers, but remarkable individuals ready to make their mark on the world.
