About

Alina was born in Minsk. As a child, she went to preparatory ballet classes, and they danced in those very same ballet classrooms of the college in which she later enrolled while still in the fifth grade – the Belarusian State Choreographic Gymnasium-College. After graduating from there, she was hired by the Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theater in Minsk. She worked there for two years, first as a corps de ballet dancer, and then at the end of the second year she was promoted to coryphée. 

While working in the theater, she danced both group and coryphée parts, such as the corps de ballet of the entire female repertoire, as well as the Stones and Great Maid of Honor from the ballet Sleeping Beauty, classics from Don Quixote, insertion variation from Don Quixote, Pa Daxion from Paquita, Two Willis from Giselle, Brides from the Swan Lake. 

Alina’s dream is to have a strong, loving family and a house by the sea. She doesn’t have any specific favorite fairy-tale hero, but she really loves all the fairy tales and cartoons with animals. 

There is no ballet role that she doesn’t love or wouldn’t like to try to perform. As a child, Alina loved to do the rond de jambe en l’air. She loves the ballet Don Quixote and the role of Kitri. 

Alina believes that it is impossible to achieve something great without hard work, and that you need to work on yourself every day, developing both physically and spiritually.
