In Yulia Bolshakova's interview (wonderful!) she talks quite a bit about Tatiana Terekhova's influence on her career, and it seems as if Terekhova has quite a bit of pull within the MT. What is her role exactly? Is she Ballet Mistress? Or does she teach at the Vaganova Institute?

Tatiyana Terekova is listed as a ballet master at the mariinsky as well as on the faculty at Vaganova Academy. Many teachers in the school serve in both capacities.

Try this website. I was unable to copy it. www.mariinsky.ru/en/ballet/soloist/balmasters

If this does not work try http://www.mariinsky.ru/en/ballet and click on Ballet. Eventually it will lead you to the Ballet Master portion of the website.

I know she is on the faculty of Vaganova Academy this year, although there is no published list of any current faculty members.
