KiBA Tanz Akademie (Uetikon am See)

The KiBA Tanz Akademie was founded in 1999 as a children's ballet - today's Tanzakademie rechter Zürichsee -, under the direction of Anna Simondi Imwinkelried. The school offers classical ballet and a contemporary dance program to children from the age of 5 and teenagers. The school is recognized by dance suisse as a professional ballet school. In 2002 Anna Simondi opened the first Pilates studio in Meilen and the surrounding area. Classes are held in groups or as personal training.
