From 2013 to 2018 she studied part-time in the dance department at the Armenian State Pedagogical University after Khachatur Abovyan and received bachelor's degree with honour.
Career
After graduating from the college in 2003, she was admitted to A. Spendiaryan National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater as a ballet actress. She has worked there for five years after that she continued her activity as the Art director of "Amaras" dance ensemble. The latter was founded on October 25, 1995, according to the idea of his father Ashot Martirosyan, after the church in Artsakh.[1] On October 25, 2015,[2] the Academic Opera and Ballet Theater hosted a solo concert dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the "Amaras" Dance Ensemble[3][4] by representatives of the Armenian show business (Silva Hakobyan, Arame, Eric, Hripsime Hakobyan, Martin Mkrtchyan, Christine Pepelyan, Angelina Gasparyan, Gevorg Martirosyan, etc.).[5][6] On May 2, 2017, the personal video of the "Amaras" dance ensemble was released, directed by Artyom Abovyan.[7][8] On July 10, 2018, the Gabriel Sundukyan National Academic Theater hosted a dance performance by the "Amaras" Dance Ensemble called "Treasures of Amaras".[9][10] 380 dance group students of all ages took part in this musical performance.[11] In February 2021, the new studio of AMARAS DANCE STUDIO was founded.[12]
Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019
Following the results of the 2019 Armenian Junior Eurovision Song Contest, it became known that Karina Ignatyan will represent Armenia in the Junior Eurovision 2019 international song contest. The lyrics of her song "Colors Of Your Dream" were written by Avet Barseghyan and Margarita Doroshich, and the author of the music was Russian composer Taras Demchuk.[13] Vika Martirosyan was the organizer and choreographer of the dance in both the video clip and stage performance.[14]
Karina is quite expressive and artistic, very talented, and she dances very beautifully. The music is interesting, colorful, most importantly it's a hit song, the beats make you dance and I love it when there are Armenian features in it. We could easily combine Armenian folk dance with hip-hop style. For the video clip we collaborated with Russian choreographers.
