Maria Abashova (Russian: Мария Абашова), is principal dancer at the Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg. She studied at St. Pölten Ballet Conservatory, Austria.[1]

Maria excelled and became acknowledged by critics in Anna's part in Anna Karenina ballet of Eifman Ballet.

"Built like an imperial Borzoi, Maria Abashova, as Anna, is eye riveting every moment she is on stage. Choreography that made the most of her physical attributes allowed her time and again to extend a line from fingertip to toe that seemed to stretch on forever. Voluminous skirted costumes reminiscent of Martha Graham's fluid jerseys, abetted the illusion of endless leg." [2]
