The Oklahoma City Ballet is saddened to announce the resignation of Viktoria Page as director of its official School The Dance Center of Oklahoma City Ballet. 

Ms. Page has been involved with the company for more than 25 years, first as a dancer in the professional company beginning in 1986, followed by a transition to School Director upon her retirement from the stage in 1996.  For the past 15 years Viktoria has guided the school and has been its principal teacher.  Students who have trained with Viktoria have gone on to professional careers dancing with companies like Aspen/Santa Fe Ballet, Sacramento Ballet, Nevada Ballet Theater, Parsons Dance and New York City’s American Ballet Theatre, not to mention our own Oklahoma City Ballet.  Regardless of their goals in dance, Viktoria’s considerate approach to teaching has fostered a love of the arts and a source of self esteem and confidence in many current and past students who have come through the doors of The Oklahoma City Ballet.  

  “After more than 15 wonderful and exciting years as the school director, I have decided to resign from the position. It is time for the school to get new ideas and renewed energy following the success of the OKC Ballet. I look forward to a continuing relationship with the school as a teacher, which is where my true passion lies. The company and school celebrate their   40^th anniversaries this season and will continue to provide quality training, professional entertainment and a nurturing environment to all.  Thank you!” - Viktoria Page

“Having danced alongside Viktoria and knowing her for nearly 18 years, Viktoria is more than a colleague, she is a friend.  She has been instrumental in the reorganization of Oklahoma City Ballet and I will be forever grateful for the dedication she has given to the organization over the years.” – Robert Mills, Artistic Director, Oklahoma City Ballet

The Dance Center of Oklahoma City Ballet is currently conducting a nationwide search for a new school director and hopes to have one in place by the beginning of the Fall 2012 school year.  In the interim, Ms. Page will continue her duties as school director until the end of its 2012 Spring semester culminating with its annual Workshop Performance in May.

Thank you,

Dance Center of OKC Ballet
