Kat/Katarina Ballerina

Do you live to work? Or do you DANCE TO LIVE!!!

About Me

These are some adjectives that people have described me by: ambitious, outrageous, 'out there', mischevious, athletic, pretzel, intelligent, inventive, original, unique, unpredictable, sexual, unusual, absent-minded, impatient. The list goes on. I've been known to look for my keys for several hours when they are right in front of me. I've been known to look for my sunglasses while they are sitting on my head. I've also called someone and forgot who I was calling. I think you get the idea. Aside from that ..................................
I'm a trained ballet dancer. I studied under Soili & Leo (from Finland)in Danish technique (Bournonville). From 17 and currently, I train in system of Agrippina Vaganova. I was invited to study in St.Petersburg at Kirov when I was 19........................At 15, I danced in CATS off broadway production in Houston. As a ballet dancer, since 1998, I have worked as a 1st soloist in Germany, and soloist roles in Philadelphia, Houston and San Francisco. I have freelanced in other ballet productions and non-classical works.Outside of my true love...................... I teach Math in high school. I don't mind how difficult the kids are. I like explaining something that people think is complicated and making it accessible in their minds. This is the same simplicity I see not only in Mathematics, but also in music and ballet. I am a proficient piano player for most of my childhood. I rediscovered my lost love for the piano this past year when I met a guy on 6th Street of Santa Monica with a baby grand piano! *********************************************************** If I'm not in a good mood, I tend to disappear or stay isolated. But when I choose to go out, I live life to the fullest and encourage people around me to do so too :)
Your Birthdate: January 5
You have many talents, and you are great at sharing those talents with others. Most people would be jealous of your clever intellect, but you're just too likeable to elicit jealousy. Progressive and original, you're usually thinking up cutting edge ideas. Quick witted and fast thinking, you have difficulty finding new challenges. Your strength: Your superhuman brainpower Your weakness: Your susceptibility to boredom Your power color: Tangerine Your power symbol: Ace Your power month: May What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

My Interests



This is an online representation of myself. Of course, meeting in person is the real me. I am who I say I am. I have decided to become a myspace user so that I can use it as a networking tool. Where else am I going to be in contact with millions of people at once? I was born and raised in Houston by parents of 2 different cultures - Romanian and Japanese. That means that I am technically Eurasian. I refrain from judging others, because I do not like to be judged. Only my friends (in real life)are in the position to do so, if they wish. Generally I have liberal points of view. I believe you have the right to live the kind of life you want as long as you do not cause harm to others. I believe in freedom of speech, freedom of religion and most of all freedom of thought. I think it is very important to live life for yourself, because then you will never please everyone. Now on with the good stuff.......................... Ballet is an integral part of my life. I live to perform, to make people happy, cry, yell. I will always live to be on stage, have an audience or cause some kind of reaction in people. Although trained and well-versed in the classics, I do admire modern and neoclassical ballets. I have my own plans to integrate ballet with electronica beats. Svetlana Zakharova (Bolshoi) in Forsythe's In the Middle!
Create Your Own! I love good quality chocolate and marzipan. I like nice high/stilleto heels. I love different accents and learning/speaking different languages. I would love to travel to as many countries that I can in the future. I know that I will develop and cultivate more deeper interests as time goes by. I believe learning keeps the mind and soul young. incredible Sylvie Guillem as Gamzatti in La Bayadere
