Her parents, both originally from the Eastern European nation, took her there to get to know her family, she \u00adexplained.<\/p>\n<p>She started dancing after moving to Brooklyn. When Komyshan was 9, choreographer Eliot Feld\u2019s company happened to be auditioning students at her public elementary school in the borough. It was then that she started her love affair with classical ballet.<\/p>\n<p>The ballerina later attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music &amp; Art and Performing Arts \u2014 aka the \u201cFame\u201d school \u2014 where she \u00admajored in dance. In addition to ballet, she learned modern.<\/p>\n<p>It was there that she met Elgort, now 25.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he had his eye on me because we were in the same lunch period or something,\u201d Komyshan\u00a0told Cosmopolitan\u00a0in 2017. \u201cWe exchanged numbers and became friends, and then we started dating when I was at the end of sophomore year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61745\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/violetta5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"364\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/violetta5.jpg 364w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/violetta5-202x300.jpg 202w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Her other classmates included actor Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet and Lourdes Leon, the eldest daughter of Madonna.<\/p>\n<p>But while many of her friends pursued careers in Hollywood, it\u2019s always been dance that\u2019s held Komyshan\u2019s heart \u2014 even as her \u00adfellow ballerinas moved on to other endeavors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody around me was going into other careers,\u201d she said. \u201cI think I\u2019m one of the few people from my school who actually still dances. [Ballet has] become such a part of my life that I don\u2019t ever see myself stopping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Komyshan attended college for two years, but shifted gears once she signed with her first professional company, \u00adBalletNext.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was leaving school every day and running to dance classes,\u201d she said. \u201cI knew that whatever I was studying wasn\u2019t my priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although no longer with BalletNext, she\u2019s\u00a0currently dancing\u00a0in her \u201cfavorite\u201d show, \u201cThe Master and Form,\u201d at the Whitney Museum\u2019s 2019 Biennial.
