How a girl from rural UK made it into the Bolshoi Ballet Academy Darya Chenikova Rachel Armstrong is already a graduate of Russia’s top ballet school. She told Russia Beyond about her journey from a village in the north of England to the Russian capital, despite not knowing the language. On the topic of Bardon Mill, a village in Northumberland, a six-hour drive north of London, guidebooks are brief: “Located near Hadrian’s Wall and the ancient Roman fort of Vindolanda.” Locals might tell you that every fall it hosts the Roman Empire Conker Championship, and fans of mysticism are drawn by the tale of the ghost of a robber who has lived in a house here since the 14th century. That’s about it. Over 2,000 miles separate Bardon Mill (pop. 452) from Moscow (pop. 12 million+). But that did not stop local resident Rachel Armstrong from pursuing her dream of studying at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy.
