About Me

CURRENT MISSION

statement

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Moscow and Sydney and have been lucky enough to split my life between these two magnificent countries. Studied in Siberia, danced in a state theatre for nearly 4 years, toured with a company, and now I'm teaching and dancing in the Sydney Sunshine.

PHILOSOPHY

The situation provides the solution.
