She danced many featuring parts under the guidance of Madame Dudinskaya, including the part of Summer in Sergeev’s ballet “Seasons,” pas de deux from “Sleeping Beauty” and “Venetian Carnival” and the grand pas de deux from “Paquita” for the 250th anniversary celebration of the Vaganova Ballet Academy in 1988. Anastasia also acted in several films about the Vaganova Ballet Academy and Natalia Dudinskaya as well as in the film-ballet “Carnival.” As a student, Ms. Dunets danced in the famed Mariinsky Theatre the part of Masha in “Nutcracker” with critics taking note of her superb technique and mature acting skills.

Upon graduation from the Vaganova Ballet Academy, Ms. Dunets danced in the Vaganova International Ballet Competition, taking home the 2nd place prize. She joined the Mariinsky Theatre ballet company in September of 1988, working with such acclaimed artists as Olga Moiseeva and G. Kekisheva. As a member of the Mariinsky Theatre Ms. Dunets toured internationally including Europe as well as the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, Mexico, and other countries. With the Mariinsky Ms. Dunets worked under the guidance of balletmaster Oleg Vinogradov. In 1993 she acted in his film “Coppelia”, and in 1994 she played part of Sister in his staging of “Cinderella,” which was first performed in Japan. This role allowed her to demonstrate her fine comedic acting skills.

In May of 1997 Ms. Dunets accepted an invitation to dance for the German National Berlin Opera, where she remained until 2000. This productive time period was full of premieres and creative work with new choreographers such as P. Bart, P.Lacotet, U.Sholts, M.Bolduin and others.

Beginning in August of 2000 Ms. Dunets has been dancing in the Finnish National Ballet, joining by invitation of its famed choreographer and director Jorma Uottinen.

The 2006-2007 season at FNB continued to bring Ms. Dunets fresh challenges and opportunities. She danced in John Neumeier’s “The Seagull” in the roles of Polina and Masha, receiving the PRO DANCE award for her role of Masha.

In 2008-2009 Ms. Dunets performed the great role of Arkadina during the Finnish National Ballet’s tour to Macau. The next season (2009-2010) led to interesting work with the choreographer Cathy Marston in the one-act ballet “Blood Wedding” taken from the work of Spanish dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca, a work created especially for the dancers at FNB. In this Ms. Dunets performed the role of “Mother,” a tragic role requiring formidable acting skills.

While performing Ms. Dunets has also honed her craft as a teacher and coach, having joined the pedagogical faculty of the Vaganova Ballet Academy in September of 2005 and receiving her diploma as ballet teacher, ballet tutor, and theatre repertoire coach in December of 2009.
