  Irina Kazakova is known as one of the world's most flexible rhythmic gymnasts of all time and is now a well-established performer known for her extreme flexibility. She became famous after her performance “snake dance” that went viral.

 Irina was born in Moscow, Russia. She began training rhythmic gymnastics when she was 6 years old, spending 8-11 hours a day at the gym, continuously pushing the limits. 

By the age of 14, She has already won a national tournament and was part of the national team, representing the country at international competitions, always recognized because of her flexibility and agility. 

 Gymnastics has given her a unique view of aesthetics and body shapes, being a certified freediver & scuba diver for years, she was able to provide an outstanding underwater modeling performance which rewarded her with having a certain awareness of the lines and curves of the body and how to express emotions in a silent environment.

Today Irina is also pursuing her creative expression through different mediums and one of them is photography, video, and event production. 

Irina’s work has been seen in numerous publications and various fine art platforms, along with different art exhibits. She worked with such celebrities as Madonna, Marc Anthony, Prince Royce, Be Svendsen, Die Antwoord, Snoop Dog to name just a few…
