Tatiana
Samoshkina
Children's Ballet Programme Creator
Tatiana Samoshkina creates ballet programmes that make ballet accessible and engaging for every child by bringing together classical technique, storytelling and creative learning.
Her work spans France, Italy, Monaco, Russia and the United States — founder of Danses du Monde on the French Riviera, and in 2026 part of the Education Department of American Ballet Theatre in New York.
Every child deserves to feel seen, heard and free to be themselves.
We believe every child should have the opportunity to experience ballet and discover its joy in their own way.
Ballet Through Story — an inclusive children's ballet programme
