Nordi trained in St.Petersburg with Nicolai Legat, with Lyubov Yegorova, Olga Preobrajenska and Vera Trefilova and in Helsingfors with George Gé.[2] On 13 December 1924 she made her Paris debut at the Théâtre Fémina in a light entertainment. The following year she became a member of the Paris Opera where she stayed until 1926.[3] Later that year she joined Anna Pavlova's company with which she toured and danced solo roles until the latter's death in 1931.[4]

Through her marriage to Walford Hyden, Pavlova's musical director and a light orchestra conductor, she was one of the first ballerinas screened on British television in 1934.[5] She made dance arrangements for the musical theatre, sometimes herself appearing in productions and became involved in cinema.[6] She had supporting roles in two films, in Cafe Colette (1937), Latin Quarter (1945) and was choreographer in the production of Caravan (1946).Шаблон:Citation needed She travelled widely, including to Australia and Asia where she adopted the practice of Kundalini yoga.[7][8]
