The World Alumni Association continues its series of interviews with outstanding graduates of Russian universities. Irish Monica Loughman danced in one of the leading troupes of Russia from the age of 16, and now she is introducing her native country to ballet. Monica came to Perm in 1992 after Lyudmila Sakharova, the director of the choreographic school in Perm, came to Ireland. Monica Loughman spent 16 years in the troupe of the Perm Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre. Today she is the prima ballerina of Ireland, the author of the book The Irish Ballerina. In the troupe of the Perm Theatre, Monica began dancing from the last row, but thanks to hard work, over time she became a soloist and presenter. She soloed in The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet, but her favorite role is Giselle. "Where she goes crazy, I can 'let my hair down', as we say in Ireland," says the ballerina. However, her main occupation is teaching ballet at the Academy of Russian Ballet in Ireland, which she opened. "I can show the students a lot, because I am the only person in Ireland who has danced professionally," says Monika. Previous films: Russian Graduates. Jiří Mastálka.
