Meet Kristina
Bolshoi Ballet Academy graduate · Over 22 years of teaching
A graduate of the Bolshoi Ballet Academy, she went on to perform professionally with one of Moscow’s leading ballet theatres, dancing a wide range of classical repertoire, including solo roles in Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Giselle and other major productions. Throughout her professional career, she has also taken part in a variety of artistic projects, both as a ballet dancer and choreographer.
​
With over 22 years of teaching experience in Moscow, Barcelona and London, she has worked with students of different ages, abilities and levels of experience, combining the traditions of classical ballet training with a thoughtful and individual approach to each student.
​
In 2026, she founded Grace Ballet Brighton — a welcoming space where adults of all ages and abilities can discover the beauty of classical ballet, whether they are complete beginners, returning to ballet after many years, or looking to continue and develop their practice. Grace Ballet Brighton also welcomes children, introducing them to the world of ballet with the same care, attention and love for the art form.

Personal attention at every stage
“At Grace Ballet Brighton, I believe in an individual approach to every student, whether they are taking their very first steps in ballet as a child or discovering or returning to ballet as an adult. I pay close attention to each person’s abilities, experience and individual goals.
​
For me, it is important that every student feels seen, supported and encouraged. Even in a group class, each student receives personal attention and guidance adapted to their individual needs and stage of development.
That is at the heart of how I teach.
When all of this comes together, ballet becomes so much more accessible than many people imagine.
For children, it can nurture grace, confidence, musicality, discipline and a lifelong love of movement. For adults, it can become a beautiful hobby, a new passion, and a wonderful source of joy and self-expression.
Whatever your age or experience, ballet can be a beautiful journey and it is never too late to begin.”
