Irina Shivrina - Ballet Mistress

Coaching Philosophy

I am involved in the kids dancing programs for 15 years of my life and can say that I love it. When you see that kids have fun as well as manage to improve the results, that what makes me going.Vincent van Gogh once said “Art is dogged work. Work in spite of everything and continuous observation” and I fully agree.
