She began performing at the age of five as a rhythmic gymnast and became a member of the Russian National team, competing successfully in numerous international championships. In 1999 after retiring from the competitions she moved to Washington,DC to continue training as a dancer. In 2001 she joined acrobatic dance troupe Anti-Gravity and moved to New York City, where she started training as a contortionist and aerialist. Later Ekaterina transferred those skills to a professional career in circus, dance and burlesque, specializing in physical comedy, contortion and aerial arts.
