Tatevik Mkrtoumian

Tatevik Mkrtoumian (°10 February 1991, Erevan) is a professional ballerina from Armenian descent, and founder of the Ballet Workout school in Antwerp.

Early life
Mkrtoumian was born in Erevan and moved to Belgium at the age of 7, where she enrolled in the Royal Ballet School of Antwerp. Following her graduation at the age of 18, Mkrtoumian was offered a contract at Theatre Vanemuine in Estonia. During her stay at Theatre Vanemuine, Mkrtoumian toured across Europe and beyond, performing some of the most renowned roles and variations in classical ballet.

Ballet Workout
Having danced with Theatre Vanemuine for five years, Mkrtoumian returned to Antwerp. Upon her return, Mkrtoumian started to look for new ways to share her passion for ballet with others, as she believes everyone should be able to actively experience and enjoy ballet. This led to Mkrtoumian starting her own school: the Ballet Workout. The Ballet Workout combines classical ballet exercises with the pleasure of dancing, and aims to make ballet accessible to everyone, regardless of their age or prior dancing experience. The Ballet Workout studio is located at the Meir, in the centre of Antwerp.
