Perfome as a ballet and contemporary dancer
I pursued studies in 4 different countries
To turn my dance
dreams
into reality,
My passion for ballet led me to the Joffrey Ballet School in NYC, where I studied from 2014 to 2017. In addition to ballet, I acquired skills in character dance, jazz, Cunningham, and Graham techniques.
This is where my journey as a dancer began. From 2006 till 2014 I studied at Balletto di Varese and Milan. My foundation was in ballet, and later, I incorporated modern and contemporary dance into my repertoire.
To dive into the contemporary style I trained at the International Kibbutz contemporary dance program from 2022 till 2023. During this period, I explored the world of Gaga, KCDC, and Mats Ek repertory, gaining valuable experience and insights.
I have strong choreographic skills thanks to my studies at the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts — GITIS (under the guidance of Olga Georgeevna Tarasova) from 2017 to 2021. I earned a BA degree in choreography and dance directing.

As a result, I have established a strong ballet foundation, upon which I continuously incorporate layers of different styles and explore the diverse realities within the world of dance
My strengths as a dancer and choreographer lie in utilizing my diverse background, drawing from ballet, contemporary, and jazz experiences to express ideas and emotions through movement

In addition to being a dancer, I bring nine years of piano experience to my artistic journey. This musical background has imparted valuable lessons, enriching my daily practice.
Music, to me, is a vast universe of stories, characters, and events. It possesses a distinct character—sometimes sweet and beautiful, other times arrogant and mischievous.
Music can captivate you on a journey, yet it also has the power to push you away. Learning how to befriend it is the key to success.

I think the world around us gives us lots of inputs and emotions. While some individuals process these through words, I translate them into movement.
I speak through stories

I firmly believe that the audience should not be left in the dark about the performance. It's essential to involve them in the artistic world being created.
Imagine being in a foreign country where you don't speak the language, but the locals make every effort to include you. It feels wonderful, doesn't it?
As a choreographer, I advocate for a similar approach—we should include our audience, making them feel welcomed and connected to the artistic narrative.

What our guests say
Charles Baumstark
Sharing experiences and thoughts with colleagues from various arts and backgrounds helps me understand my own artistic pursuits. Being both asked and asking others about their approach to their art, and the methods they employ is what the Creative Minds meetings uniquely enable you to do, and that’s terrific!

On Saturday 25th November, I attended a Creative Minds meeting, where we shared our thoughts, plans, and challenges in our respective artistic fields. It was fascinating to hear the stories of the others, and it was also gratifying to share my thoughts and practice a bit of English. Talented, hardworking people inspire me, and such meetings energize me to continue doing what I love, despite obstacles. Thank you, Assia!

Creative Minds is a great opportunity for artists of all environments to get together and either get ideas and feedback for their work or just chat and create links between them. The sessions I’ve been in have helped me with my creative processes and also to learn other points of view that I haven’t even thought about. Anastasia does a great job linking all these artists and organizing the sessions.
