It is amazing how classical ballet develops one's innate character!

" -- just beautiful!! a rare level of caliber in technique and artistry at this age🏆.

Found that the young dancer Anastasia studies at Children's Ballet Academy of Ekaterina Gromova in St. Petersburg, Russia… also found this photo (https://vk.com/gromova_ballet?z=photo-191645568_457241708%2Falbum-191645568_00%2Frev) posted on the wall of the school’s VK site (aka, VKontakte, is a Facebook-like Russian social media platform with millions of users; it is currently banned in US and many other countries)... it is also on their Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn3vl7wg0TF/?hl=en) account..

The photo is from the wall of the actual ballet school, posted to promote "our summer schedule" (2006)."
