Vera Arbuzova was born in Krasnoyars. Honored Artist of the Russian Federation (2003), winner of the Golden Sofit (1997).  She graduated from the Krasnoyarsk Choreographic School in 1992 and joined the Eifman Ballet, where she premiered the roles: Mercedes (Don Quixote, or Fantasies of a Madman), Grushenka (Karamazovs), The Ballerina (Red Giselle), The Empress (Russian Hamlet), Armanda, Donna Anna (Don Juan and Molière), and Lynn (Who’s Who).
Her other parts include: The Girl (Illusions), The Fairy (Pinocchio), The Woman (Requiem), von Meck (Tchaikovsky), Doctor, Kitri (Don Quixote, or Fantasies of a Madman), Linn (Who’s Who), Anna (Anna Karenina).
Vera Arbuzova’s dance is distinguished by marvelous physical attributes and innate plasticity.  Starting with tempting seductresses (Mercedes, Grushenka), the dancer was later convincing as the tragic Ballerina (the image imbued with the fate of the great Spessivtseva) and the imperious but lonely Empress (Catherine the Great).  Her two heroines in Don Juan are attractive in their contrasts: the playful and emotional Armanda and the proud and uncompromising Donna Anna.
