Theater "Baikal" following the results of its performance at the show "Everybody Dance!" shared first place with other competitors and advanced to the next round. For the second performance, the theater presented a waltz to the jury and, as the artists themselves admitted, it was not easy for them to perform in this unusual technique.

A ballet troupe of 20 artists, choreographer Arsalan Sandanov and artistic director of the theater Zhargala Zhalsanov went to the Russian capital to film the project on March 1. Theater artists will compete for the title of winner with 11 teams from different parts of the country. They will take the stage to surprise and amaze the audience and prove to the whole country that they are true professionals. The task of the participants is not only to adequately present their own style, be it folk or ballroom dancing, hip-hop, breakdancing or contemporary, ballet or flamenco, but also to become the best in someone else’s field, that is, to constantly transform and reincarnate. The winners will receive one million rubles and the title of the best dance group in the country. The performances are assessed by choreographer, actress, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Alla Sigalova, theater and film actor, director, choreographer Yegor Druzhinin and ballet dancer Vladimir Derevyanko.

Spirit of ancestors

In the first, debut performance at the show, the Baikal Theater presented the national dance legend “The Spirit of Ancestors”. “We tried to convey our ethnicity, the spirit of our ancestors,” said theater artist Ekaterina Kukshinova, “we were worried that the jury would somehow criticize us or that these would not be very pleasant comments.”

However, the jury was delighted with the dance, although Alla Sigalova expressed concern whether the theater would be able to transform for the next number, as required by the conditions of the show.

You are beautiful, but I am very worried about you, how will you continue, because you are so original, how will you transform? I wish you good luck,” she noted. Presenter Evgeny Papunaishvili emphasized that the Baikal Theater is the custodian of the unique traditions of folk dance and a laureate of the Russian government award.

As the director of the theater Dandar Badluev noted, after the first round the ensemble had many serious competitors, because the strongest remain in the show. He emphasized that the theater troupe must “try to surprise the jury and audience.” For this purpose, the artistic director of the theater, Zhargal Zhalsanov, chose the most famous European style and decided to prepare the performance based on the Viennese waltz. Note that the Viennese waltz is considered one of the most difficult dances to perform among the entire ballroom program, although it has the fewest figures. The waltz has a completely different technique, standards, figures and requirements for performance - compared to the national dances that the Baikal Theater is used to performing.

And the Viennese waltz

The performance turned out to be spectacular: the Baikal ensemble performed in an unusual role, presenting a real swan dance. The men came out in tailcoats, and the girls in swan costumes. The artists themselves later admitted that it was difficult for them to dance, and the most difficult thing was working in pairs.

Of course, when there are teams of ballroom dance professionals, you don’t want to lose face, it was scary,” the ensemble members said after the performance.

The performance caused a strong reaction from the audience in the form of prolonged applause, and the jury noted that the ensemble managed to surprise them.

The few waltz steps that the artists made were not ideal, but the attempt at change is magical, says Sigalova.

Elegant, subtle,” Vladimir Derevyanko appreciated. – Although stylistically we still need to work.

The vocabulary of the previous number was much more complex and diverse, there is nothing supernatural here,” noted Yegor Druzhinin, commenting on the Viennese va in the performance of the Buryat dance, “we all know that dancing quickly is much easier, we know that a tailcoat does not suit everyone. It still doesn’t suit all of you, but you know how to wear it.

The Baikal Theater received the highest ratings for this number - 8, 9 and 10, and in the end, with 27 points, it shared first place in the intermediate final table of the show along with another group. The theater will continue to fight on the federal television show.

According to Zhargal Zhalsanov, the Baikal Theater, founded in 1942, is the oldest and only professional song and dance theater that preserves and promotes the Buryat-Mongolian national culture.

This is a very dangerous experiment for us,” says Zhalsanov about performing on the show, “but I clearly understand that we have such a message, a movement towards change.

The Buryat National Song and Dance Theater "Baikal" is the custodian of the culture and traditions of the Buryat-Mongolian nation, which were formed under the influence of Buddhism and shamanism.

The group included ballet dancers, solo vocalists, and an orchestra of folk instruments of Buryatia. Over the 75 years of the theater’s existence, not a single fan of their creative work has stopped admiring the talent of the artists; moreover, the army of fans is growing larger every day.

Among the troupe there are artists who have been awarded titles and high awards of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Buryatia. The repertoire includes numbers for concerts, songs and dances, as well as large-format projects, for example, ethno-ballet and ethno-opera, performances based on the myths of the Mongolian people.

In addition, the theater holds charity children's New Year's parties for orphans, disabled children, who find themselves in difficult life situations, and helps young performers in developing their potential.

Every fan of the Baikal Theater can count on a new portion of the rhythms of nature and life, ceremonial acts, shaman rituals, hunter’s dance, birds and animals at the concert. All performances are accompanied by a live, authentic song that cannot be deciphered using traditional notes.

All theater participants treat the performance of the repertoire with care, and therefore watching their performances is incredibly interesting and exciting. The theater actively takes part in festivals and competitions and receives high awards. But the participants of “Baikal” admit that the only thing that is dearer to them than all the awards is the love of the audience.

Among the theater's awards, it is worth noting the first prize at the International Festival called "Fashion of the Mongols of the World" in 2005, a year later the highest award at the International Festival "Altargana -2006" in Ulan-Ude, "Golden Heart" in 2006, the Russian Government Prize in sphere of culture and art. Not a single participation in competitions takes place without the well-deserved highest award from Baikal.

The solo program of the Baikal Theater is worthy of performance in the Kremlin, because this is the opinion of the Russian Minister of Culture A. Avdeev. Participation in the show “Everyone Dances” will help the theater to open up for the viewer from another new side and discover special facets and possibilities in itself.

Filming of the final stage of the television competition “Everybody Dance” took place in one of the Mosfilm pavilions. Let us recall that the Republic of Buryatia was represented by the Buryat National Song and Dance Theater “Baikal”. There were a large number of fans, three full stands. Filming lasted five hours.

Among the fans were Russian State Duma deputies from Buryatia Aldar Damdinov, Nikolai Buduev, Federation Council senator from Buryatia Tatyana Mantatova.

The Baikal Theater performed fourth in a row. Our artists performed a dance number with national flavor. But demonstrating elements of the styles that they learned on the project: vogue, hip-hop, ballet.

For example, Anastasia and Daba Dashinorboev showed amazing support, Yulia Zomoeva danced on pointe shoes, Chingis Tsybikzhapov, Valentina Yundunova and Aryuna Tsydypova danced vogue, Fyodor Kondakov and Ekaterina Osodoeva samba, Donara Baldantseren and Alexey Radnaev performed solos, Chagdar Budaev performed an acrobatic number.

After the performance, the audience stood up in unison and shouted “bravo!”

“I am in love with each of you,” said jury member Alla Sigalova.

The jury did not give any scores in the finals. Each judge selected one finalist. Alla Sigalova chose the Baikal theater, Vladimir Derevyanko - Vera formation, Yegor Druzhinin chose Evolvers.

Jubilation, shouts of “Hurray!” came from outside the pavilion. The organizers rolled a large cake with the project logo onto the stage. Everyone congratulated the dancers of the Baikal Theater on their victory, festive fireworks thundered and a huge certificate worth 1 million rubles was awarded to the winner.

Of course, the Baikal Theater deservedly won, we fell in love with the guys, and they worked hard on our project!

Residents of Buryatia watched all this action on their TV screens at home. The most active fans came to watch the final directly on Soviet Square. On the occasion of the final, a large screen was installed there.

Buryat artists and politicians spoke with words of support. Dozens, hundreds of townspeople rejoiced when the winner was announced.

This is such pride for our theater, for our republic! I want to cry with happiness! Thank you, “Baikal!” said spectator Elena.

Victory dance:

All broadcast:

The victorious performance of the Baikal Theater caused a surge of interest in dance in the republic.

Last weekend, Buryatia rejoiced: our dance and song theater “Baikal” became the winner of the show on the federal television channel. Now many in the republic know what “contemporary” is, how to dance the fashionable “vogue” and that a child who learns to dance will probably not only be able to find a job in the future, but also become famous throughout the country.

Dancing Republic

Dancing is fashionable now; there are now a lot more guys in the choreographic departments of universities and colleges, in dance studios and even on dance floors. If in the mid-90s all boys went to martial arts, boxing and wrestling sections, today there are boys in both, without any distortions.

Compared to the beginning of the 2000s, there are now significantly more dance studios and groups in Ulan-Ude. There are more than 20 dance studios in the capital: children's, adults, ballroom, street, and social. There are many directions, there is plenty to choose from. Young children, young people, old people, and older people all dance. You can take up dancing from childhood, become a professional, fortunately in the city there is a choreographic school and a dance department at VSGAKI, you can become a professional choreographer and member of a dance group, such as our famous song and dance theater “Baikal”.

Everyone dances when they are young, but they rarely dedicate their future to dancing. But there are also those who do a couple of steps for the first time in their youth, and then can no longer imagine their life without dancing. Many young people start dancing after becoming interested in K-pop culture or so-called “street” culture (hip-hop, locking, popping, etc.).

Last year, young Ulan-Ude resident Alexei Borkhonov was one of the five finalists in an international dance competition organized by the Korean agency JYP Entertainment. A career as an intern at an agency opened before him, and then the opportunity to become a K-pop star and become famous throughout Asia. Our Buryat finalist of the Korean casting is one of those who first started dancing at a dance school and then developed independently. Then he and his friends created the famous team “ADR enalin crew” in Ulan-Ude; it often takes part in various city events and participates in interregional dance competitions.

Dancing is communication

Those who want not only to dance, but also to communicate through dance, go to social dance studios. Social dancing is dancing where communication is a priority. Social dances include many types of partner dances that do not require complex patterns. Salsa, bachata, kizomba, Argentine tango, reggaeton and others.

It's not just dancing. Here people find their friends, start families, travel to other cities and meet an incredible number of interesting people. Among our dancers you can find doctors, engineers, machinists, accountants, bank employees, and the list is endless,” says Lisa Tsoi, founder of the Latino Baikal social dance school.

It doesn’t matter what your age, height, weight, or whether you have danced in the past, the most important thing is desire, she adds. Famous townspeople also came to dance at Latino Baikal: deputies, athletes, chief doctors.

In most clubs that practice social dancing, along with the dancing itself, many dance parties, joint holidays and birthdays, outings and similar events are regularly held. And this summer, “Latino Baikal” is organizing a large-scale project - an international dance summer camp on Lake Baikal. The program includes parties and master classes from leading social dance teachers in Russia and Mongolia. The organizers emphasize that anyone can take part - from beginners to pros. You can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of dance, improve your dancing level, make new friends and just have a great time on Lake Baikal this summer from July 13 to 16.

Buryaton - Buryat reggaeton

The Baikal Theater showed at the federal show not only the Buryat culture and the beauty of the national dance, it was able to show that we can and do perceive another culture. And at the same time we rework it, creating a kind of mixture of classics and ethnics, resulting in mind-blowing explosive numbers.

The same thing is now happening in Buryatia and with youth street culture. Now, in the wake of preserving Buryat culture, traditions and language, many young guys are creating something incomparable in dance and music. The projects of Aldar Dugaron - Dze and Saryun, Sergei Biliktuev - “Hathur Zu” have long been known not only in Buryatia.

And our choreographers also picked up this wave. In Buryatia they created their own dance direction - Buryaton. This is a mixture of reggaeton, hip-hop and Buryat and Mongolian dances, explains teacher of the movement Lisa Tsoi:

I myself danced in the Bulzhamuur ensemble for 10 years, and about two years ago I created a new dance direction, Buryaton. Now my group is very actively developing and today we shot another video.

A video in which the members of her dance group will perform Buryaton will appear online just the other day. So far on Youtube you can see a couple of videos recorded in a studio on Lake Baikal, and a presentation of the project at a dance festival in Krasnoyarsk.
