I am a professional dancer, choreographer, actress and director. Born and raised in Moscow, Russia I started dancing at 4 years old. I graduated from Moscow State College of Arts in 2008 as a choreographer. In the United States, I studied different dance styles (hip-hop, house, tap, vogue, jazz-funk) in a Certificate Program at Peridance Capezio Center in New York (2011-2014). I completed the Yale Actors Conservatory program in 2016 and studied acting and directing at HB Studio (New York) in a Certificate Program (2017-2020). I have been teaching dance for over 12 years in different countries around the world. I have worked and collaborated with many artists (Shaggy, Krishane, Busta Rhymes), TV shows (Kingdom, Next Step Realty, Mr. Robot), and theatres in New York, Paris, Moscow, and Los Angeles. I am a goal-oriented teacher and care very much for your progress. Therefore I have some guidelines and tips: I teach classical dance (ballet) according to Vaganova's technique (Russian school) and I advise NOT to book less than 60 minutes for a ballet class. Anything less than 60 min is simply not enough time. I teach typical workout lessons for different muscle groups for gaining strength and body shaping (30-45 min is enough for such a class). I teach Hip Hop dance, House dance (no less than 60 min per class). I do not typically work with students younger than 10 years old but exceptions can be made. I enjoy working with students of all levels, from beginner to advanced. There is a possibility of doing an online class with several students. I would advise you to contact me prior to booking so we can figure out what is the best option for you.
