In the Spotlight: Diana Vishneva

You may know of Diana Vishneva, if not from her dancing, then possibly from this picture that is featured in most dance magazines.


Diana Vishneva was born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1976. She graduated from the Vaganova Ballet Academy, joined the Mariinsky Theatre Ballet in 1995 and was promoted to principal in 1996. During her last year at the Academy, Vishneva began working at the Mariinsky Theatre. She is now a Principle dancer with ABT (and supposable Kirvo).




She has had roles such as Kitri in Don Quixote, Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, Princess Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty, and many many more! She was also on the cover of Dance Europe.
