“I sincerely believe that encouraging children to dance is one of the best gifts we can give them. There are so many ways dance, and ballet in particular, can enhance their lives and offer them skills that they will take with them into adulthood…”
My ballet journey began at 6 years old when I was accepted into the elite Vaganova Ballet Academy in St Petersburg, Russia. After receiving 8 years of amazing training I was lucky enough to become a professional ballet dancer at 18 years old with the Russian Ballet and Tachkin St Petersburg Ballet Company. I toured all over the world with these companies and performed in some of the all-time ballet classics such as Swan Lake, Giselle, Sleeping Beauty, Don Quixote, Le Corsaire, Nutcracker and the Fairy Doll.
I decided to retire from my professional ballet career in 2011 after settling in Australia and becoming a mother. This move gave me the opportunity to become a certified RAD teacher and launch my teaching career. I’ve had 10 wonderful years honing my teaching skills and dancing with children of all ages in Australia and look forward to sharing my passion for dance with many more young dancers and supporting them to fulfill their goals and potential.
