Tatevik Mkrtoumian is a professional ballerina and starts to dance ballet at the age of 5 in Russia. At this age she already participates and wins prestigious prizes at various Russian ballet competitions. As both of her parents are professional ballet dancers, Tatevik inherited the passion for ballet. Meanwhile at age 7 she moves to Belgium together with her family. She was the first girl to be accepted into the Royal Ballet School of Antwerp without audition.

After graduation she receives an invitation to join to the biggest Estonian Theatre, theatre Vanemuine. Then just a few weeks later she earns her first solo part and dances there for 5 years as a professional ballerina. Consequently she tours with the company to Finland, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Belgium and many other countries.

Her Vision

Tatevik’s dream is to make the audience feel the pleasure of dancing when she is on stage. After she returned to Belgium she started a ballet studio where she teaches everyone to dance ballet and experience the benefits of this beautiful art. Eventually she realizes that the methods for teaching professionals were unfit for adult beginners ballet. As a result she then developed her own method and shaped it into a ballet method for beginner adults. Furthermore with this method every adult can learn classical ballet, get physically fit, flexible and enjoy the pleasure of dance without any prior experience required. Tatevik teaches Ballet Workout, stretching class and private class.
