Life is motion and the motion is dance

A little about me...
Dance for me, is another world of existence, in which the mood, thoughts and sensations are transmitted with the help of expressive movement.
As a child, I was very creative, with a good physique for Ballet and good flexibility, which are necessary for a professional dancer. Therefore, from the age of 3, my parents took me to a dance studio to practice Ballet. Entering later in to a professional dance school in Moscow, I began to seriously engage in classical dance. In addition to Ballet, we were taught other dance disciplines - such as folk dance, historical and duet dance, acting skills and modern dance.
In the School of Classical Dance I was engaged under the direction of Gennady Ledyakh - honored Artist of Russia, the premiere of the Bolshoi Theatre and the student Asaf Messerer.
After graduation I worked in different dance companies including "Ballet Revival" and "Russian Seasons", and often performed with stars of show business. Most memorable was the participation in a grand concert at the celebration of the ‘Day of Moscow’, which took place in the main square of the capital.
At the age of seventeen I began to teach classical dance with children. At this point I realised that I really love children and working with them, so much that I wanted to become a teacher.
To this end, I graduated from the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts (MGUKI). I studied at the Department of Classical Dance with the Honored Artist of the RSFSR, prima ballerina E.L. Ryabinkina. My main teacher and mentor was E.V. Perlina - Associate Professor, Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences; a graduate of the Academy of Vaganova.
Goals and objectives
At my Russian Ballet school I want to preserve and continue the traditions and cultural values ​​of the Russian Ballet. As a musical accompaniment in my lessons, I use classical music
Work in the school is conducted according to A. Vaganova. This technique, based on the principle of "from simple to complex," and was recognized in the world of Ballet. It is used in leading theatres of the world such as the Mariinsky Theater, the Bolshoi Theater, La Scala and Covent Garden.
Professional Ballet Dancer with over 15 years experience in performing, choreography and teaching.

And I also work with children in parterre gymnastics (a ballet complex of exercises on the floor for a detailed study of the muscles of the legs, the press and back.), Which promotes the development of flexibility, stretching, the correct formation of muscles. Parterre or Knyazev gymnastics, has already become an integral part of the training for all involved in ballet.
