The first job for a writer is to come up with their OWN ideas. That's a bulk of the work that we simply cannot do for you.
Think of personality traits that get her into trouble or something. that will give you ideas for conflict to keep things going.

Well, she could meet a guy here who's attending the ballet class with her and is a former pro wrestler turned pacifist, but he looks very awkward on the ballet floor so he asks for her assistance.
Plus there would be an evil guy in the background who's also rich a big polluter aiming at world domination and ex employer of the wrestler. He would stalk the other guy because he did not accept his departure from the company and that made him lose a lot of money. However, a global recession strikes and the rich man secretely fears to lose control over his life and does not know how to keep his head out of the water, so he puts the blame on his employees and does a lot of trouble.
Meanwhile the state slowly starts crumbling and money means less to people at each day. The ballet being an art, it is not affected by our economy, so the girl and her friend survive the crisis and become popular by doing representations in front of ever growing crowds.
When such events happen, people bring food and goods so that there is still a free market, and help for everyone during the crisis. Some farmers also become regulars at the show and other artisans make robes and dresses for the dancers. Musicians hop on the scene to add a little magic to their representation and it ends up being a real large fest while money disappears from memory.
The rich man who i mentioned earlier would then admit that he is ruined and beg his ex employee for pardon to be part of the ceremony and get food like everyone else, and promises to be nice in the future.
The relationship between that and Russia, is communism winning back some ground against capitalism. Also, you could add a bit of Rasputin in the main chraracter's cultural heritage, and magic spells taken from Rasputin's memories to get them out of trouble in the first part.
On the other hand, that evil business manager could be called Christopher Carbonneau (sounds to me like Christopher Colombus, but with a twisted french accent and a carbon dioxyde flavor).

Um...She gets discriminated against because she's foreign, and then falls in love with the ballet instructor's teacher?
She becomes the best dancer and the previous best dancer gets jealous and hides drugs in her bag, or puts something in her drink to destroy her dancing, or somehow breaks her leg/sprains her ankle?
That's it for right now. :D Hope I helped!

maybe after she does that she falls in love with a boy in the audience while the class does a play and he really likes her too. It's like love in first sight . She looks into his eyes and falls in love with him.

she becomes intensley in love with a girl in her class.....she becomes a world class pro ballet dacncer, but one day she is practsing alone and falls and he neck snaps and she becomes paralysed, you could then describe her struggle to come to terms with her dissabillity and how it affects her relationship with the girl in her class and how it affects her life. x
