Teaching Philosophy

Inna’s philosophy of dance stems from her passion for classical paintings and sculptures. She finds inspiration in such classics which help to find meaning behind the simplest of ballet movements and positions. Inna believes it is highly important to understand how to connect one’s technique with one’s emotions and personality, making ballet more enjoyable.
