Maya Plisetskaya is a ballerina, choreographer, actress, known all over the world. She is famous for her technique and plasticity, and her amazing emotionality in dance. And also for her incredible character, perseverance, work ethic, and adequate attitude towards herself and her abilities.

Being a ballerina is not only physically challenging: exhausting training, pain, early retirement. It involves intrigues, jealousy, constant scrutiny, limitations, and sometimes poverty - to continue creating and improving under such conditions, one must possess a very strong character.

This is exactly what Maya had. She was not broken or deterred from her path by the war, the separation from her mother, or political conflicts. She became one of the most famous ballerinas in the world. Her performances inspired thousands of girls to pursue ballet and believe in themselves.
