Birgit Keil & Vladimir Klos

quoteAlready during my active time as a first soloist at Stuttgarter Ballet, I got to know Fabiola Ambrosio as a professional company member, who had been educated at the Staatliche Ballettschule Berlin.

After ending her dance career she studied Dance Pedagogy under my direction, as a scholarship holder of the Tanzstiftung Birgit Keil, at the Akademie des Tanzes (Academy of Dance) at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Mannheim (Mannheim University of Music and Performing Arts).

My experience with her during the studies was extremely positive. Fabiola Ambrosio was not only hardworking but also showed her talent already in the teaching rehearsals, that she had to pass during her studies. She successfully completed her Dance Pedagogy  studies with a Master Degree.

She began her professional career as a teacher of classical ballet and repertoire.

Through her dance training, her career as a professional dancer and as a teacher, Fabiola Ambrosio is particularly qualified to teach the new generation of dancers and pave the way for them to become professional, or to work as a ballet master with a company in order to pass on her knowledge and experience.

By meeting Professor Birgit Keil, Director of the Academy of Dance at the Mannheim University of Music and Performing Arts , she was also able to acquire valuable knowledge in the high level of classical ballet.

Professor Birgit Keil and I are convinced, that Fabiola Ambrosio can convincingly meet the requirements of the educational mandate in dance.

With pleasure we recommend Fabiola Ambrosio for further responsible tasks.

With best regards.
Sincerely,

Vladimir Klos

In the two years I had Ms. Fabiola as my teacher, even I was able to see my own improvement. The first day I had her as my teacher, she made sure to give me individual attention, helping me become aware of the areas where I could improve. She treats everyone with the utmost of respect while inspiring them to become the best dancer they can be. I am so thankful to have had the privilege of being her student, and I will always have her corrections in my mind when I dance.

As the School Manager for The School of Ballet Arizona, I worked alongside Fabiola Ambrosio for 4 years when she was a faculty member and Upper Division Coordinator. Fabiola was a popular teacher that always put her students first. She would take the time to make sure a student understood corrections and felt supported. Her student’s success and enjoyment of the art of ballet was her highest priority. Fabiola would make herself available to meet with parents to discuss any questions or concerns. Fabiola has an incredible work ethic and is simply a delight, always positive and willing to help in any way!

Mrs. Fabiola Ambrosio managed, through careful work, and through extensive mastery of the pointes technique, raise the qualities of my daughter, as a ballet dancer, to a much higher level. In addition, and far beyond, since my daughter is not an American citizen, Mrs. Fabiola lent her significant emotional and psychological support, giving all the necessary support and guidance, allowing my daughter to adapt to a new country, with a different culture, without such circumstances causing any harm to her, neither as a person, nor as a ballerina.

As Ballet Arizona Studio Company dancer it was an enriching and unforgettable experience working with Ms. Fabiola. The way that she cares deeply about the growth of all the dancers working with her was something incredibly inspiring to witness , something that only strengthened my love for the arts and made me want to improve everyday more. During my time with her, I improved my technique greatly, specially on point work, and artistically due to working with someone so extremely competent and willing to help. She also taught me what it is to have a impeccable work ethic and, in my opinion, every dancer would be lucky to learn from her.

Mrs. Fabiola is an amazing and talented teacher who trains and mentors students to become strong and graceful dancers. She has been my teacher for five years, and has watched me grow, creating the dancer that I am today. She encourages her students to persevere and cultivates strength of body and mind, while focusing on detailed technique. Her instruction is rigorous and disciplined, yet Mrs. Fabiola’s care and hope for her students well-being is unsurpassed. With her instruction, a student is prepared for any future in dance that they may desire. It has been an honor to work with her these past years and I would not be the dancer that I am today without her guidance, support, and excellent training.
