Ekaterina loves every part she dances; each one is dear to the heart in its own way.

She was born in Abakan, took up gymnastics at five, and began dancing a year later. Ekaterina’s professional dance career started when she was ten.

After completing her training at the Novosibirsk State Choreography College, she went on to perform at Ekaterinburg Opera and Ballet Theatre for over nine years.

Ekaterina performed on the main stages of the Bolshoi Theatre, Stanislavsky Theatre, and Alexandrinsky theatre, as well as the Samara Theatre and Kyrgyz National Opera and Ballet Theatre as an invited Prima.

Ekaterina’s favorite character is Alice in Wonderland – she is strong and brave but at the same time naive and honest. She is very smart despite her young age.

Leo’s dream is to become a dancer people buy tickets to see on stage, whatever show he is in.

He was born in Padova, Italy and started his dancing career at the age of seven. His training began at John Cranko Schule Stuttgart followed by attending Vienna State Opera Ballet Academy and Vaganova Ballet Academy. After completing his education Leo spent a year dancing as part of the Joffrey Ballet Studio Company, performed the Solor part in the Bayadere at the Mariinsky Theater and now is a Demi-Soloist in Estonian National Ballet.

His favourite ballet role is the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, perhaps this is because he had such a fun time exploring this quirky and entertaining character while working on Gianluca Schiavoni’s production the ballet in Estonia. Leo finds joy in movement and expressing emotions and his personality on stage, so he is not a big fan of static roles. His dream role is Basilio in his favourite ballet Don Quixote.

A piece of advice to his younger self:

“Have more faith in the power of your passion and energy. It is OK not to be like the others and to bring your unique ideas to your dancing.”

Angelina loves the dance for its vivaciousness. She was born in a small town in Belarus called Pleshenitsy and took up gymnastics when she was six, then gradually moved on to ballet by the age of ten. Angelina received her training at the Belarus State Choreography College as well as graduating from the Belarus State University of Arts and Culture with a degree in Culturology.

The hardest and least favorite part of Angelina’s job is “paying her dues” when assigned to more static roles or parts which require more walking than dancing. She enjoys herself the most when moving and expressing herself in various roles and styles. The least favorite dance moves are the ones that require turnout – Angelina had to work hard on her turnout from an early age.

A piece of advice to her younger self: “Always find a good use for your free time. Keep improving, and never doubt yourself.n You can do it!”

Ekaterina likes trying new things in ballet and dreams of visiting Paris.

Ekaterina was born in Kaliningrad. She started dancing when she was eight years old – first as part of the ensemble called “The Dream”, but after some time, when she realized it was more than a hobby, Ekaterina moved to Minsk, Belarus, to receive her professional ballet performer training at the Choreography College.

Ekaterina danced on the stages of the Bolshoi Theatre of Belarus, Royal Opera House Muscat, and other renowned venues. Her roles include Maria in La Halte de cavalerie, the Beloved in Straussiana, The Fairy of Generosity in Sleeping Beauty, Step Sister in Cinderella, Angela in Creation of the World, and Little swans in Swan Lake.

Ekaterina’s least favorite ballet move is Assemble. She also came to learn that sometimes the role that seemed wrong at the beginning – it may have been new, or challenging technique, or an unusual character temperament, became her favorite one through the work process. Ekaterina finds ways to bring color to the character and make it her own. This often turns the initially least favorite roles into the best and most interesting ones.

Ekaterina’s favorite fairy tale character is the Little Prince because he teaches us to look within, to be loyal, responsible to value friendship and love above all. Her favorite ballet role is Giselle.

A piece of advice to her younger self: “Be brave, don’t be afraid of anything, because the dream is stronger than fear.”

Anastasia’s path to ballet started from ice-skating.

She was born in Saint Petersburg and had a love for sports since early childhood, when she began ice-skating at the age of four. After some time she took up gymnastics and eventually started dancing at the age of nine. Anastasia has completed her training at the Vaganova Ballet Academy in Saint-Petersburg and was invited to dance at Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet.

As a permanent company member of the World Ballet Series, she performed such roles as Pas de Trois, Big Swans’ dance, Walz, Bride’s dance, Spanish dance, and the Russian dance in Swan Lake, the Waltz of Snowflakes (Solo), Waltz of the Flowers (Leading couples), and the Russian dance in the Nutcracker.

Anastasia’s dreams to continue doing the work that she loves, and that brings her joy. Her favourite fairy-tale character is the Little Mermaid, and favourite ballet is Swan Lake – even though it is one of the most difficult ballets to perform. As for the role she would like to perform one day, it would definitely be Aurora from “Sleeping Beauty”.

A piece of advice to her younger self:

Always believe in yourself, never despair, never give up.

Dmitry believes that there is no such thing as a bad role. He was born in 1991 in Slutsk, Belarus and right after graduating from Choreographic College in 2011 was invited to join Belarus State Academic Musical Theatre as a principal dancer.

Ironically, Dmitry is a recipient of a “Crystal Slipper” Diploma. In 2014, he became a laureate of the 2nd International Baltic competition and also received an award for his contribution to the performing arts from the Minsk City Council.

His favorite cartoon character is Timon from The Lion King because his positivity can charm anyone.

Dmitry believes that every role gives a performer an opportunity to grow. However, his favorite one is Romeo from Romeo and Juliet.

His least favorite ballet move is Gargouillade.

Dmitry hopes to show as many people around the world as possible that ballet is not boring.

A piece of advice to his younger self: “Keep working. This is the best profession in the world.”
