MEMORABLE MOMENT IN CAREER

“I remember my performance in Balanchine’s “Serenade” in Dresden Semperoper and how the stage director Nanette Glushak complimented me on my pique manege. I also have warm feelings about the time when I had to learn the role of Lotta in one day for Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” and the choreographer Mare Tommingas told me that “I was born for this role”. I also cherish the process of working on my own piece within the young choreographers’ programme in the chamber hall of the Estonian National Ballet”.
