Over the past two years she has created three major performances of her own and served as artistic director of the United Ukrainian Ballet Company. Igone's life has been dominated by ballet since her childhood. After a career of more than 25 years, she responds with this masterclass to the request to share her personal experiences and knowledge with the public.

“I experienced very early on what it is like to have to perform at the highest level. That top sports mentality has brought me a lot and I am convinced, especially after my time as artistic director of the United Ukrainian Ballet Company, that I have a lot to give and add to the methodologies for the current generation of dancers.” (Igone de Jongh)
