Maya’s early career was marred by a vicious pyramid scheme that left her penniless. She took to the jungle to survive living off bananas and chocolate. And coffee lots and lots of coffee.   Yes, she didn’t sleep much but Maya is no stranger to sacrifice.  She has sacrificed a lot. Her approach to learning ballet is almost ritualistic. She has painstakingly enshrined and merged the teachings of all the great ballet schools -Russian, Italian, French, English, and Barnum and Bailey- creating a unique style that has helped her climb the steps to reach the capstone of success. Now, at the pinnacle of her powers, she has her finger on the pulse of balletomanes.  Maya holds your heart in her hands when she performs the Dying Swan.  Her Giselle will tear your heart out.  Her Samson and Delilah will make you lose your head.  She is an attraction not to be missed. Critics are dying to see her next performance.
