Predana obiskovalka Literarne hiše Maribor in sodelavka Locutia, mlada slovenska balerina, Mariborčanka Nuška Gujt, je na svoji karierni poti dosegla še enega od mejnikov baletne ustvarjalnosti. Poznamo jo po številnih uspehih ter uspešnih tekmovalnih nastopih v Sloveniji in tujini. Po uspešnem baletnem izobraževanju v Sloveniji, Italiji in Avstriji, je junija 2025 diplomirala na prestižni Baletni akademiji Dunajske državne opere (Ballettakademie der Wiener Staatsoper). Leta 2024 je bila v okviru natečaja »Mladi upi« razglašena za mladi baletni up za leto 2023. V obrazložitvi ob prejemu nagrade so med drugim zapisali: »Dosežki 17-letne balerine govorijo sami zase: priznanja na državnih in mednarodnih tekmovanjih, prestižni nastopi in osvojeni nazivi ter razna vabila za šolanje na različnih baletnih akademijah. Vrhunec njenih tekmovalnih dosežkov pa je brez dvoma 1. nagrada Grand Prix Vienna,« ki jo je dobila na mednarodnem baletnem tekmovanju na Dunaju.
Sama je ob izpitih, ki jih je opravljala na Dunaju, vedno poudarjala pomen izkušenj, ki jih je pridobila s številnimi nastopi v Slovenskem narodnem gledališču v Mariboru, kjer je že pred mnogimi leti debitirala v vlogi »male punčke« v baletu SILFIDA. Nepozabni so bili tudi baletni nastopi 7 baletno akademijo v slavni Dunajski državni operi na Dunaju. Ob baletnem izobraževanju na Dunaju je hkrati redno opravljala tudi vse učne obveznosti na Prvi gimnaziji v Mariboru in na Konservatoriju za glasbo in balet v Mariboru. Vodstvu obeh šol in profesorjem je hvaležna, da so ji omogočili redno opravljanje vseh šolskih obveznosti kljub bivanju na Dunaju. Vse letnike Prve gimnazije v Mariboru in Umetniške gimnazije na Konservatoriju za glasbo in balet v Mariboru je opravila z odličnim uspehom in nato tudi uspešno maturirala.

Diploma dunajske baletne akademije Nuški Gujt veliko pomeni. Baletna akademija Dunajske državne opere je ena najstarejših in najbolj priznanih izobraževalnih baletnih ustanov na svetu. Nadaljuje bogato baletno tradicijo, ki sega v leto 1771, ko je cesarica Marija Terezija na Dunaju ustanovila Gledališko plesno šolo (»Theatral-Tanzschule«). Od svojih začetkov leta 1771 pod vodstvom legendarnega Georgesa Noverra do sodobne Baletne akademije Dunajske državne opere se je institucija nenehno razvijala, da bi dosegla najvišje umetniške standarde. Diplomante Baletne akademije Dunajske državne opere je mogoče najti na odrih vodilnih svetovnih baletnih ansamblov. Mnogi delajo tudi kot koreografi ali pedagogi in tako nadaljujejo dunajsko baletno tradicijo.
