The choreographic college of the Kiev Opera Theater

Report an issue

The choreographic college of the Kiev Opera Theater. Chief choreographer Tairov (wearing a scull-cap). I, Anna Ulik, am on the right of the upper row. The photo was made in 1929 in Kiev.

I liked to dance very much; I even took dancing classes at the Opera Theater Choreographic College. I remember Tairov, the famous chief choreographer, how her personally admitted me to the College, examined my feet and discussed them with my father. My father was working as the vice director of the Opera Theater then.
I have a picture of my group of students of the college. Our teacher was a former ballet dancer. She is on that picture as well.
