<p>I'm Alia Pushilina, and I've been dancing my entire conscious life, starting at the age of 7. After completing school, I pursued a dance degree at a university in America. Due to life circumstances, I couldn't stay in the USA, and instead, I spent three years studying in Russia, specializing in ballet, folk dance, and contemporary choreography, ultimately earning my qualification as a dance teacher.</p> <p>I also danced at the Mirror Dance Theater, taught children, and attended various dance workshops in Russia, America, and Germany.</p> <p>With two daughters—one teaching contemporary dance at our studio and the other dancing herself.</p> <p>Upon arriving in Germany in 2018, I quickly noticed that pursuing dance in small towns and villages is often challenging, requiring children to travel to larger cities. This led me to the decision to start teaching dance in Störnstein. My proposal immediately caught attention, revealing that many children would love to dance close to home.</p> <p>Working with children and instilling in them a love for dance brings me immense pleasure. I hope that all children in small towns and villages will have the opportunity to dance.</p>
