1. My name is Maria, and I’m originally from Perm, Russia, where I was born into a big family with five children. But now I live in Italy. I graduated from one of the most prestigious ballet schools in the world, earning a degree as a professional ballerina and ballet teacher. At 19, I moved to St. Petersburg, where I began performing professionally and teaching ballet to children at a private school. Not long after, I joined a ballet company and had the chance to perform internationally, which was an incredible experience both professionally and personally.
In 2022, I was accepted as a soloist dancer with a ballet company in Italy. After a year there, I also began teaching, leading a ballet course for children aged 10 to 12.
In addition to my work in ballet, I’m currently studying the history of art and international art business through an online university program.

2. Growing up surrounded by siblings taught me the importance of connection, responsibility, and communication—qualities that have stayed with me throughout my life and career.
