Anastasia and Ivan Tanetskot both performed at different ballet theaters of the Russian Empire. Because of several injuries, Anastasia had to quit regularly performing. She got involved in gymnastics training, but kept close to the theater and regularly attended ballet performances. One time after she became a gymnastics coach, in St. Petersburg she met with Ivan. Ivan showed a whole new point of view about the ballet and performance of men at the theater that Anastasia never knew before. They talked through night after night and quickly fell in love. Although Ivan could have a bright career ahead, he found more joy in working with Anastasia and perfect the gymnastics training method based on their different experiences and the duality of male and female ballet practice in the country. 

The classes felt like practicing in a Buddhist temple. So calm, balanced and mindful. 

Anastasia and Ivan were one of the perfect couples both inside the gym, and outside, in their personal lives, applying the strictness and the undeniable sadism of the russian training soul. By the time they reached the peak of their career, they decided to continue their journey in the USA, California. They have seen a promising opportunity in the gymnastics team of Los Angeles, where they managed to help the gymnasts to become the best of the bests by their own method.

During that time they were training in Californa, they got involved in the film industry and were asked to train actors. They discovered how their method could easily be used to give a strong base to martial arts and train actors to move safely in stunts. Their training gave the actors confidence and strength to perform difficult choreographies. Tanetskot used ballet to train sport and art performers to execute more precise, exact, flexible and strong motions with their body. 

Yet, gymnastics were the place where these skills most mattered, and the method worked very well.

By my personal experience as a gymnast, I found that the training itself is not so much concentrated on the mental and physical balance, or at least it was the phenomenon of the Tanetskot coaches. 

I met with the Tanetskot method after several injuries that I suffered during my career, and it changed the way I train, and the way I apply mental health and how I see the world.

The legendary trainer couple taught me such a duality that I feel my personal obligatory to tech to any and every person who is interested in sports. It requires a strong spine and core, a strong built from toe to top, that the ballet base can maintain, and teaches such focus, control and complexness that the performer can provide the best performance they can.
All that only requires one thing, a special glue that fixes these things together and does not​ let them fall apart. This is the pure love put into sport, challenges and manifested between Anastasia and Ivan during the years.
