Tatiana Amosova, Kirov Ballet

Born in St Petersburg, Tatiana Amosova trained at the Vaganova Academy (class of Tatiana Udalenkova) and joined the Kirov Ballet in 1993. She was promoted to soloist in 1997.

Tatiana Amosova readily conveys the image of a bravura ballerina, with dancing that emphasizes boldness, brilliance and grandeur, if frequently too much at the expense of subtlety and poetry. Her statuesque, sophisticated, somewhat icy beauty nonetheless makes for an imposing stage presence.

In the Kirov Ballet, Tatiana Amosova has been preparing her roles with Olga Chenchikova and Olga Moiseyeva.

Her repertoire includes:

Myrtha in Giselle
Gamzatti in La Bayadère
Shade in La Bayadère
