Professional Experience: Anya is very fortunate to have had many performance opportunities, including two amazing seasons as an NYB company member in 2017 and 2018! She won the Phyllis Bedells choreography award and was a finalist in the Fonteyn (formerly Genée) International Ballet Competition in 2019. She performed in The Nutcracker with English National Ballet, and while at English National Ballet School she danced works by choreographers Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, Didy Veldman, Andrew McNicol, and Alleyne Dance. After graduating from the English National Ballet School, she is now studying Psychology and Neuroscience at university while concurrently teaching and choreographing at Alta Academy of Dance. 

 

Biggest Inspiration: ‘I cannot single out my biggest inspiration as I am constantly learning from everyone around me, yet my family and friends are very close to the top of the list!’
