Russian ballet is an art with a touch of drama. This is the opinion of the whole world. In 2013 the Russian ballet turned 240 years old. I am proud to have studied at a legendary school. "

On tours, and just traveling, Anna always visits ballet. In her opinion, people from the oldest Moscow Academy of Choreography can be seen right away. They wonderfully put their hands and back. Nobody else in the world can do this anymore. This is the hallmark of Russian ballet.

The festival in honor of the 200th anniversary of classical dance was indicative. It was called "Three Centuries of World Ballet" and was held in the Kremlin. Young dancers from all over the world took part in the festival. They showed modern choreography, which was very interesting. Nobody, except Russian students, was able to show a classical production.
