On January 30, 2025, the Corinthia Hotel hosted a creative evening of the North-Western Regional Committee of the AEB, “Getting to know the talented people of St. Petersburg.”

The invited guest of the evening was Natalia Toriashvili, a ballerina and successful businesswoman, who recently became the holder of the title of Prima Ballerina.

Natalia answered the guests’ questions about the profession of a ballerina and the world of theater in general, thanks to which the guests immersed themselves in the alluring atmosphere of theatrical creativity. The participants learned how to cultivate the necessary qualities in order to become a prima, and how this experience can be applied to the success of a leader.

Natalia also told how ballet tempered her character, how it taught her to make the most important immediate decisions without having the right to make a mistake, how it taught her to take responsibility and concentrate on the main thing in any situation, and how all this experience allowed her to assemble a team today, become its leader and the owner of a successful business. 

We would like to express our gratitude to the event partners - the Corinthia Hotel and the Diaghilev MICE event agency.
