Galina Ulanova at the Kirov Theater

The radio program "How does a dance sound" with author Eugenia discusses the famous Russian ballerina Galina Ulanova. Born in 1910, Ulanova was raised by a family of ballet artists and began her ballet training at a young age. Her mother, Marina Romanova, was her first teacher, and she taught Ulanova to stand properly and to dance the Italian polka. Ulanova made her debut as a child in the Opera "Snow Maiden," and her first performance as an adult was with the Mariinsky Theatre. Ulanova's serious expression and deep gaze made it difficult for her to smile, even during performances.
