When I was still little, my grandparents told my parents that they should give me the name Tatiana. They explained that the name is very beautiful and has many wonderful associations. Parents agreed, and so I became Tatyana.

When I started dancing, my trainer noticed that my name is quite long and can be difficult to pronounce while dancing. He offered to call me Tata, and I really liked this name. Tata sounds short and bright, like my love for dancing.

Since then, my name Tata has become my dance pseudonym. When I step on the dance floor, I feel free and happy, and this name helps me feel even more confident and powerful.

Of course, my name Tatiana remains my official name, and I love it as much as my pseudonym. But when I dance, I become Tata.
