This blog is full of personal observations and insights into some of the things that interest and inspire me – including food, films, literature and dance!

I’ve learned a lot about the ballet world, both as a student and a professional.  This blog contains my hints and tips on how to navigate some of the challenges faced daily by young dancers and their parents.

I wrote this blog during my four-years of training at the world-famous Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow.  The blog follows my journey as a 16-year old exploring Moscow, learning Russian and gives an insight into the intense training regime that turned me into the professional dancer I am today.
