Biography of Ekaterina Shipulina

Ekaterina Valentinovna was born in one of the Perm maternity hospitals on a cold November 1979. The baby's mother, Lyudmila Shipulina, performed on the stage of the Perm Opera and Ballet Theatre, so the girl's future was a foregone conclusion from the moment she was born.

Little Katya almost did not see caresses from her mother. And this is not surprising, since the woman devoted almost all her energy and time to her students and performances. She was more than critical of her daughter and never let her relax.

Incessant pain for ballerinas is a familiar state in which they are constantly. And for Katya, she also became a part of life. The girl was by nature very hardworking and even being very young showed promise.

Catherine has a twin sister. In 1898, they passed the entrance examinations to the Perm Ballet School together and entered.

In 1994, she entered the Moscow Choreographic Academy and after 4 years graduated with honors. The graduation number was the party from the ballet "Le Corsaire".

The stage of the Bolshoi Theater became the place of work of Ekaterina Shipulina as a ballerina. A year after the start of her dancing career, she goes to the international ballet competition, held in Luxembourg, and takes 2nd place there. This is the first honorary "silver" among her many awards.

The girl does not linger on the achieved result and continues to work on herself. With each new performance, she rises one step higher on her career ladder. And now she is already the Queen in the ball "Fantasy on the theme of Casanova." Further, her track record is replenished with "Sylphide", "Humpbacked Horse", where the ballerina shines in the part of the Tsar Maiden. Shipulina so skillfully conveys all the feelings and emotions of her hero that it is almost impossible not to believe in the recreated image and plot.
