Laura Fernandez Gromova

Laura Fernandez, born in Switzerland, half Ukrainian, half Spanish, studied at the Zurich Dance Academy and at the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg.

She is the first Swiss ever to join the Mariinsky Theatre where – still in the Corps de Ballet – she danced many solo roles, before heading to Stanislavsky Theatre in Moscow as a First Soloist.

Due to the tragic situation between Russia and Ukraine she had to take the hard decision to leave her life in Russia behind and moved to Georgia, where she is currently engaged as a Principal Dancer at the State Ballet of Georgia under the direction of Nina Ananiashvili.
