Hello! My name is Natasha and I am a Russian ballerina. I moved to the United States last year to pursue my dream of becoming a professional dancer. I have been practicing ballet for as long as I can remember, ever since my mother first enrolled me in dance classes at age four. I have always loved the grace and poise that comes with ballet, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible flexibility required to perform many of the movements.
I spend hours each day stretching and warming up my muscles to ensure that I am ready for whatever challenges come my way. One of my favorite exercises is to do splits on the ground, which helps me develop both strength and flexibility in my legs. It's also important to maintain proper form and technique so that I don't injure myself while performing such extreme positions.
I am lucky enough to have a ballet studio in my hometown back in Russia, where I trained for many years under the guidance of some of the most talented dancers in the country. However, since moving to the United States, I have had to adapt to new styles and techniques that are specific to this country's dance scene.
Despite the challenges, I am determined to make a name for myself in the world of ballet. My ultimate goal is to perform with some of the most prestigious ballet companies in the world, and to inspire other young dancers to pursue their dreams no matter what obstacles they may face along the way.
Thank you for listening to my story!
