 Gneushev made Yelena the dancer-assistant to the late juggler-on-rolling-globe, [[Yury Borzykin]], with whom she performed, in 1991, at the Gershwin Theater on Broadway, in Steve Leber’s production of ''Cirk Valentin''. In that show, Yelena also performed an early version of her hula-hoop act.
-When Yelena returned to Moscow, Gneushev helped her develop her hula-hoop act into something unique. In the act, which was set to Middle Eastern music, the choreography and presentation were as important as the remarkable technique. The act was an immediate sensation, not least because&mdash;in the early performances&mdash;Yelena performed topless under a light veil that her dancing movements made teasingly move to and fro.

 In 1994, Yelena's act won a Bronze Medal at Paris’s [[Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain]]&mdash;a remarkable feat, considering the high level of the acrobatic competition, which tends to overshadow specialties such as hula-hoop acts.
