Very sad but at least she landed a job.

Go home? Wish her best luck in future work, like Nina Ananiashvili.

I wonder if her husband, Konstantin Zaklinsky, will leave his present position at Vaganova Academy, where he teaches duet class, and go with her?

There's no news about her husband Kostya leaving the Academy. However, their daughter Anastasia Zaklinskaya, who is the very image of her mother, is on the character dancer career track at the Mariinsky.

"There is an interesting debut at the Astana Opera House on 30 January: ballet company soloist Anastasia Zaklinskaya will dance the role of Nikiya in La Bayadère."

She's the daughter of the company's director, Altynai Asylmuratova, and Konstantin Zaklinsky.
