Dmitri Roudnev is the director and principle instructor for the Buckman Center Ballet Program on the campus of St. Mary’s School, Memphis TN. This program offers classical ballet training with small class sizes and personal attention. Roudnev’s training is based on Russian ballet traditions. The program runs year round .

Dmitri Roudnev also offers private lessons during the entire year. Private lessons can be supplemental and the student does not have to leave the school she attends currently. This training is unique and promises accelerated progress.

Also available are specially designed private lessons for dancers with ballet-related injuries. Dmitri Roudnev has years of experience in helping dancers return back to their dance careers or dance training pain-free.

The joy these dancers feel to no longer have hip injuries, back pain or shin splints are Roudnev’s greatest accomplishments.


"I didn't know a person could improve this much in three short weeks! Traveling from Michigan to Memphis to train privately with Dmitri was worth the trip! Some of the summer programs our daughter has attended include Central Penn. Youth Ballet and National Ballet of Canada. None of these compare to the personal one-on-one training she received with Dmitri. Imagine all of this in a kind and caring classroom. His ability to see what is holding a dancer back in training ....creates an environment that is positive, encouraging and easy to learn. Dmitri's technique has not only eliminated our daughter's chronic hip pain which she has struggled with for four years, but it has lengthened her muscles and strengthened her back. Her arabesque is quickly improving, her turning more consistent and she has developed a beautiful line."
-Susanne Jenelle, mother of 17 year old Alexa Genelle.
