About the Teacher

PeSal’s ballet teacher Anna Korotysheva is a dance instructor, choreographer, and dancer, and a member of STST.
She studied classical ballet at the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg (1979–1987) and trained as a ballet teacher at the Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory (1995–2000).

Anna danced with the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg from 1987 to 2008 and performed internationally with the Kirov Ballet, including as a soloist in several productions. She has worked as a ballet teacher and choreographer at the conservatory’s student theatre (1995–2000) and with rhythmic gymnastics and figure skating groups in St. Petersburg and Krasnodar. Since 2010, she has taught at Jyväskylä Tanssiopisto and Dance Center Palokka.

Anna seeks to pass on not only the Vaganova technique but also knowledge of classical ballet and respect for traditional style. She encourages her students to do their best and introduces new challenges once goals are reached. She describes herself as a precise, caring, and warmhearted teacher.

Spring Season 2026 begins on Monday, January 5, 2026.
