Acquaintance with the Academy | I got the letter of recommendation from the judge at the competition in Japan. And I decided to go to Russia because I thought I would never have such a wonderful chance again and it has been my dream to study there since watching the documentary video of the Bolshoi Ballet Academy. |
---|---|
Vivid memory | The most memorable thing during my studies is my last exam at the Academy and the graduation concert in the Bolshoi Theater. I still clearly remember that I was very nervous but I could show the results of practice. That were very happy moments in my life. |
My teacher | I am very thankful to my teacher Elena N. Vatulya. I learned many things from her. If I had not had that experience I would not have been who I am now. “To do something well, you need to constantly practice”, – it is a one of her unforgettable expressions and I will always apply it in my career. |
Career | After graduation I did an audition in Japan and I started working there. After one year in Japan I used to dance in Spain. My current workplace is in Poland. |
Practice or performance? | I am convinced that practice is the basic for being a strong dancer and a purposeful person. I have learned how fun it is to practice more and fell improvement. During my study I realized that I love working in the studio as much as I like performing on the stage. |
Goals for future | My goal in my career is to be a strong and beautiful dancer and I would like to perform all around the world. |
Parting words for students. | My opinion is to study at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy is one of great experience for students. There is a wonderful environment that helps to focus on ballet. If you very want to be a professional dancer, I can say it will be a great experience to study there. |
