Daria Kulikova
Coryphée of Mariinsky Theatre
Dainty... Delight... Darling Dasha!
All photos are from her IG account.
My personal new favorite Mariinsky ballerina. Born in moscow, she spent 7yrs at Bolshoi Ballet Academy, Dasha made a big decision to transfer to Vaganova Ballet on her final year under Yulia Kasenkova's class, and was invited to be part of Mariinsky corps de ballet after her graduation on 2023.
Coached by Margarita Kullik, Daria first debut at her first season as Masha from Nutcracker. Part of her repertoire is Queen of the Dryads, Juliet's companion, Three odalisque, Prince's friends, and recently Princess Florine.
Although early to tell, she has potential and charisma, i only hope to see her improve and progress in her career, also to have a strong healthy mind and body. I wish her luck and toi toi toi! 🩰

Yaroslavna Kuprina
"Do everything with kindness and love. If you approach everything with a bright soul, then any undertaking will succeed."
The poetic combination of first and last name, as if already at birth, determined the future strong connection of our today's heroine with the world of art.

Bolshoi Theatre New Rising Star: Maria Koshkaryova
Photos by: Alisa Aslanova for Ballet Magazine Russia
MARIA KOSHKARYOVA brightly announced herself at the XIV International Ballet Competition in Moscow last summer, for the three rounds of which she prepared six numbers in a month. Being at that time a final year student at the Academy of Russian Ballet and an intern at the Mariinsky Theatre, Maria did not set herself any overarching goals and went to the competition with a modest “ not to surprise anyone ” attitude , but went home with first prize in the solo category.
At the same time, she first appeared on the Historical Stage of the Bolshoi Theater of Russia, which, according to her, she was immediately fascinated by.After graduating from the academy, Maria moved to Moscow, where she is about to begin her first full season as a soloist of the Bolshoi Theater ballet troupe. The young ballerina told our publication about combining study and internship in the theater, the difficult choice that determines one’s fate, and whether the opinions of others are important.
