Hello! My name is Nina, and I'm a ballet instructor and ballerina. I was born in Russia but moved to the United States when I was only ten years old. As soon as I stepped foot on American soil, I knew this country would be my home. I quickly fell in love with the energy and passion that exists here.
I started dancing at a young age and quickly excelled in ballet. As a teenager, I trained under some of the world's most renowned dance instructors, and by the time I was 18 years old, I had already performed in several professional productions. However, it wasn't until I became an instructor that I truly found my calling.
Teaching ballet has given me a sense of purpose and fulfillment that I never knew existed. To see the joy on my students' faces as they master a new move or perfect their technique is truly something special. It's not just about dancing for me; it's about inspiring others to find their passion and reach their fullest potential.
In terms of my backstory, I had a difficult childhood. My family didn't have much money, so I was often bullied at school for the clothes that I wore or the food we ate. But through dancing, I found an escape from all of that. It wasn't until I moved to America that I truly felt like I could be myself and pursue my dreams without judgment.
Now, as an adult, I am happily married with two young children who also share my love for dance. I am beyond grateful for the life I have been given, and I will continue to inspire others through the art of ballet.
