see The Nutcracker at the Mariinsky Theatre. "When I left the hall, I
told my mother I wanted to be a famous ballerina," Volochkova has
said, "On the face of it, I didn't have the right build - I didn't
have long legs, and I wasn't flexible, quick or springy - nothing. All
I maybe had was a beautiful body and a big wish. I didn't just take
classes - I also had private lessons at home with a teacher. I worked
very hard."
