Entrance word of Nina Ananiashvili: |
“Everything in my life takes place accidentally and nevertheless I think nothing happens by accident. When I left the school of figure skating then I felt in love with my profession. Many people would like me to become a ballerina: my parents, grandmother. Lia Dvali was the one who took me from the school of figure skating to ballet.
At first I was with Tamar Vikhodtseva later on- I appeard in the school of Moscow with Natalia Zolotova. It was she who got acquanted me with the international scene. During years I have worked in Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow with Raisa Struchkova. So everything happened step by step and with quite a natural consequence.
I assure you I never planned to become successful. It was also the results of natural consequence.
I’ve always believed to be there where I am needed,where people need me. It may be America, Russia, but luckily my nation had got the need in me.
A new world is open before the future generation of our school. It will give them the possibility to realize their beautiful dreams.
I wish You success"
