Ballerina Anastasia Volochkova told socialbites.ca that she does not celebrate World Ballet Day, but receives congratulations from friends and colleagues on this day.
“No, I don’t celebrate. There are no traditions associated [с этим днем]. Do my friends congratulate me? Of course they congratulate you. I devoted my life to ballet. When I was five years old, I had a goal in life: to become a ballerina. I continue to dedicate myself to my art. And I am grateful to all the teachers who taught me. To all the great masters of art with whom I had the chance to work,” said Volochkova.
The artist noted that he is in favor of children being interested in ballet art. He advised parents to send their children to ballet when they turn six.
“Of course it is necessary [привлекать детей к балетному искусству]. I do this in every way possible. By creating the most interesting original shows and concert programs. I attract children to participate in these programs. At what age should a child start ballet? 6-8 years – that’s all. By the way, the ballet academy, where I studied and graduated with honors, accepts me from the age of nine,” Volochkova concluded.
Thursday, October 26 is World Ballet Day. Ballet dancers did not take a professional break until 2014; They celebrated International Dance Day.
On this day, more than 50 of the world’s leading ballet companies show their rehearsals and lessons live for free.
