Sabina Akhmedova joined Moscow's Institute of Modern Arts when she was 16. During the four year program, she studied with members of the well-known Moscow Art Theatre, founded by acting legend Constantin Stanislavsky.

She made her stage debut in Tennessee Williams's "Summer and Smoke" as Rosa Gonzalez. Other performances soon followed, such as Alexander Pushkin's "Small tragedies" and Federico García Lorca's "The house of Bernarda Alba". After graduation, she was promptly recruited by Stas Namin's "Music and Drama Theatre" as a lead actress, where she not only performed in dramatic plays, but also in lively musicals, such as "Hair" and "Jesus Christ Superstar".
