Timeline

1963

Nina Ananiashvili (born: Nino Ananiashvili, ნინო ანანიაშვილი; born March 19, 1963) is a Georgian ballerina and artistic director of the State Ballet of Georgia.

1969

In 1969, Ananiashvili entered the Georgia State Choreographic Institute.

Tamara Vykhodtseva was her first teacher there.

The great Vakhtang Chabukiani also took little Nina under his wing.

Her progress was so impressive that it drew the attention of teachers from the Moscow Choreographic Institute, who convinced her parents to allow Nina to continue her studies there.

1976

In 1976, she entered the Moscow Choreographic Institute where her main teacher was Natalia Zolotova.

1980

In 1980, she made her stage debut in a school production of Coppélia.

She performed well in several competitions: in 1980 she won the Gold Medal in the junior group of the 10th International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria; in 1981 she and Andris Liepa won Grand Prix in the junior group of the 4th International Ballet Competition in Moscow (Andris Liepa received the Gold Medal there).

1981

She graduated and entered the Bolshoi Theater in 1981.

At the Bolshoi Theatre, Nina was taught by two of the greatest teachers in the Soviet Union, Raisa Struchkova and Marina Semenova.

1982

In 1982, although still a corps member, she danced her first principal role with the company, as Odette/Odile in Swan Lake, during a tour of Germany.

That year, she made her first appearance with a foreign ballet company, the Alberta Ballet of Canada.

1983

In 1983 she was promoted to the rank of soloist and performed in her native Tbilisi as a professional for the first time.

Eventually she rose to become a prima ballerina.

1985

In 1985 she won the Gold Medal in the senior group at the 5th International Ballet Competition in Moscow; in 1986 she and Andris Liepa were awarded the Grand Prix at the 3rd USA International Ballet Competition in Jackson, Mississippi, United States.

1986

In 1986, after a long interval caused by a strain in international relations, the Bolshoi dancers were allowed to tour the West once again.

Ananiashvili's London performance of Raymonda was greeted with delight by both the public and the critics.

That year was a turning point in her career.

She was permitted to accept guest performances outside the Soviet Union since 1986 due to the policies of Mikhail Gorbachev (see Perestroika and Glasnost).

1987

Shortly before the fall of the Iron Curtain, in 1987 a New York Magazine critic praised her as "the best thing about the Bolshoi's Giselle whether she appeared in the title role or as the queen of the wilis."

1988

She, along with Andris Liepa, was the first Soviet dancer to appear as a guest performer with the New York City Ballet in 1988 (she had danced in "Raymonda Variations", "Apollo" and "Symphony in C" there).

In subsequent years, Nina Ananiashvili became an international ballet superstar.

Ananiashvili also had the honor of being the first Soviet ballerina to perform with the Royal Danish Ballet, and it was considered a particular triumph that she danced in such pieces as La Sylphide and Napoli, by the Danish master August Bournonville, who is considered a national treasure by many.

During her career she had performed in many ballet theaters in various countries (in most of the places she performed as a guest artist): Bulgaria, Denmark, Argentina, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Hungary Italy, Japan, Monaco, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

1993

She became a principal dancer for the American Ballet Theatre in 1993, and in 1999 she joined the Houston Ballet with that same rank.

She made her debut with the Boston Ballet in that company's Russian-American production of Swan Lake.

Accomplished style and rare dramatic talent have made Nina Ananiashvili one of the mostly well known dancers of modern times.

Pledging government support, the newly appointed Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili asked Ananiashvili to rebuild the company in an effort to bolster national pride.

She agreed and left Russia (and eventually the Bolshoi Ballet), to move back to Tbilisi.

2002

She has been described by the Daily Telegraph as one of the twelve greatest ballerinas of all time, and in 2002 was named Best Ballerina of the Year by the US Dance Magazine.

Ananiashvili has been a prominent fixture of the Soviet, Russian and Georgian ballet scene for decades.

2004

Since September 2004, she has been artistic director of the National Ballet Ensemble of Georgia.

Attracting help from many former colleagues and adding extensively to the company's repertoire, Ananiashvili has greatly revitalized the State Ballet.

2014

In 2014, a film of her 1991 performance in Giselle with the Bolshoi ballet was released.

Nina Ananiashvili was born in Tbilisi, Georgian SSR.

Her father, Gedevan, and two older brothers, George and Levan, were all geologists; her mother, Lia Gogolashvili, a philologist.

She was a sickly child and at the age of 4, her parents started her ice skating in an effort to improve her health.

At 10, she became champion in her age group in Georgia.

A dance teacher saw how she moved on the ice – in particular her balance and how she used her arms – and had her perform The Dying Swan on skates.

Then the teacher took Nina to a theatre and showed her the feathered costume she could wear if she performed it on stage, just like Maya Plisetskaya, the Bolshoi prima ballerina.
