Life's a dance, you learn as you go Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow Don't worry 'bout what you don't know Life's a dance, you learn as you go
— John Michael Montgomery
About me
My name is Maria, I am an Irish dancer and teacher. I live in Novosibirsk, which is the centre of Russia and Siberia, – and even here you can learn to do Irish dancing! I've been taught by leading dancers and great choreographers from Europe and Russia.
I really love Irish dancing; it brings inspiration and joy into my life. It gave me an opportunity to see the world, meet so many interesting people, and find myself in this beautiful art form. I like to share my skills with other people, giving them a chance to taste this dance style.
