Balancé Tutorial

Why do balancés never look like how you learned them? About Me: Hi, my name is Victoria! I’m a ballet dancer and teacher trained in the Vaganova method. I make instructional videos without sugar-coating the gritty details. I danced professionally as a freelancer, and in a contemporary company for several years in NYC. Due to the pandemic, I now reside in rural Pennsylvania. I’m a little salty because I struggle with chronic illnesses & invisible disabilities, but I try to keep it real and raise awareness... FAQs: Are you actually Russian?: Yes, I’m technically a tiny bit Russian. We always thought my mother was 100% Italian. But when she took the ancestry test, we learned she’s actually a bit Middle Eastern and Circassian (Southern Russia) as well! Did you train in Russia?: No, I did not attend ballet school in Russia. But all of my instructors have direct lineage to the Vaganova Academy. I received a majority of my training from Ballerina Irina Leb
