– I lived in the north of our vast, endless country and wanted to move somewhere warm. By chance, I ended up in Krasnodar. I fell in love with the city but had to return north. In 2013, LOKS Dancers announced an upcoming casting call for the team. Without hesitation, I applied and received an invitation. I packed my bags and flew from Surgut to Krasnodar without a return ticket. It was the best decision I ever made!

My free time? I try to spend it alone, preferably in a dance studio or outdoors. Favorite dance style? I really like afro and high heels. But I don’t really have a favorite one. Favorite player? Kobe Bryant. A true legend!
