Irina Dolgolenko was born in Moscow. In her childhood she did rhythmic-sportive gymnastics professionally. She studied contemporary dance at Nikolay Ogryzkov’s School from 1993 till 1997. Irina attended numerous summer schools, masterclasses and seminars, including Tanzwochen-1997 (Vienna) and ADF-1998 (North Carolina, USA), where she studied various disciplines of contemporary dance: Marta Graham, Jose Limon, Merce Cunningham, Lester Horton and release techniques, contact improvisation, composition, etc.

Frank (Canada), worked with Po.V.S.Tanze company (Moscow, Russia). Her choreographic works were presented at festivals in Moscow, Yaroslavl, Lipetsk, Kiev, as well as in the Czech Republic and Poland.
As a teacher Irina taught modern dance at the studio school of Igor Moiseev’s Ensemble of Popular Dance, Lavrovsky’s School, at festivals and seminars in Moscow, Yaroslavl, Krasnoyarsk, Kiev, etc. At present she gives regular classes of contemporary dance technique at Moscow schools, and choreographs.
JOSE LIMON TECHNIQUE
The basis of the class is Jose Limon technique with elements of other directions of contemporary dance. It allows, in my opinion, to more deeply and effectively develop the dancer’s skills: expression, articulation, balance, risk, musicality, skills of interaction with the space and the floor in conditions of force of gravity.
The class starts with exercises on the floor directed to release joints and aligning the body. Further exercises are dedicated to the states of balance and off balance, using gravity as a source of movement, working with the focus and achieving the precision of gesture in space. Every class will include dance variations based on broad dynamic shifts and active changes of level and direction.
