Yeva Hrytsak, a ballet student at the American Ballet School in New York City, remembers the “unthinkable” phone call she received from her family in Ukraine – one that threw her life into turmoil
Yeva Hrytsak, a ballet student at the American Ballet School in New York City, remembers the “unthinkable” phone call she received on February 24, 2022, from her family in Ukraine, one day after arriving in the United States – one that threw her life into turmoil. Hrytsak, 17, was some 5,000 miles from her hometown – Dnipro – with her family suddenly engulfed by war. “What if I cannot see them again? And I just started to cry,” she told CNN. “I just I didn’t know what to do.
“It’s painful for me to see what’s happened with Ukraine because I have a family there,” she said. “I’m torn in all different directions. I have family who doesn’t talk to each other again.” CNN caught up with Saveliev and Hrytsak at a New Jersey dance studio. Although the conflict looms large on both their minds, together they find solace in dance. Ballet slippers and a tutu seemingly wipe away any of Hrytsak’s worries and transform her into a stunning performer who exudes grace and eloquence.
