“Little-Known Fact”: A self-proclaimed “bun-head”, Maria’s first love is classical ballet. As a student in her academy’s pre-professional program, Maria had the opportunity to continue her training in the Vaganova method in St. Petersburg, Russia, which sealed her love for this artistic dance form. Maria has since fallen in love with Flamenco dance and has exchanged her pointe shoes for much noisier ones. She also enjoys tending to her small, but mighty indoor garden consisting of Belladonna, Mandragora Officinarum, and Datura plants.
