Khanhanu Svitlana

• Graduated from the “Barvinochok” Ukrainian dance school in 2021.
• Studies at the “Serge Lifar KMAT” College of Choreographic Art.

“Dance for me is an inseparable part of the soul. It is love that keeps spreading through my body. Contemporary ballet, in my opinion, is such a wide and boundless field of creativity, without static limits — it is the path I want to keep walking.”

Has worked at Kyiv Modern Ballet since 2026.

“The turning point on my creative path happened in my 3rd year of college. Complete despair and loneliness became the driving force in the struggle to perform my dream role.
It had to happen. When you forget about your ambitions, your potential, about yourself — it is very hard to believe again and find the strength to move, relying only on yourself. The right paths are always thorny.”

Ritual before a performance:
“Silence — to be alone with my thoughts, try on the given image, calm my breathing.”
