On the 1st of June on the International Children’s Day there was the final show “The World Called the World of Dance” of the charity project “From Children to Children” which took place on the stage of Concert and Exhibition Center “Gubernsky”.
The tradition of charity concerts was born on the 1st of June 2007. Since then the concert has become a symbolic gift for children from boarding schools, foster homes, art schools as well as for children from single-parent families and families with a low income; the winners of city and regional Olympiads were also invited.
Every year thanks to the art of dance the audience can see a totally different perspective of the world. The students of “The Governorate Ballet School” learn about the diversity of this world on a daily basis by listening attentively to their teachers and studying diligently the complex science of dance. The result of the work are amazing choreographic compositions which are getting more and more challenging while still meeting the strictest demands.
For many students and graduates of “The Governorate Ballet School” the show “The World Called the World of Dance” was a victory over themselves. This year they prepared 20 turns including major parts from the famous ballets and dances of the world nations.
All the young people in the audience in “Gubernsky” were very sympathetic towards the sad love story expressed in the Gypsy Dance of the ballet “Don Quixote” and performed by Yekaterina Poliashova and male graduates of “The Governorate Ballet School” college. Adagios from ballets “Don Quixote” and “The Nutcracker” presented by a very harmonious duo of Yuri Vybornov and Yekaterina Berezina were amazing in their beauty and skillfulness and deserved the big rounds of applause from the audience. Gleb Povarov, the college student, together with his helpers, the students from the 3rd ballet class, played the main part in Marzelina’s Dance from the ballet “La Fille mal Gardée” so well that the music of this deft but at the same time unhurried dance was often interrupted by approving and loud laughter. “The Little Swans’ Dance” from “The Swan Lake” and “Rose Waltz” from “The Nutcracker” performed by the students of the 3rd ballet class on points mesmerized their peers sitting in the audience by their ethereality and extremely difficult dancing technique. It is impossible not to mention Yuri Vybornov’s fantastic jumps in the Godling’s Dance from the ballet “La Bayadere” which won the hearts of the audience by the virtuosity of performance and the beauty of the moves.
The classic dances alternated with the dances of the world nations and in a very short time the audience could see the artists swiftly changing bright costumes, they could hear the music from different parts of the world and feel the atmosphere of those countries, their culture and the character of the people. Coquettish Chinese women, passionate Spaniards, cheerful Russian in the dance “Matania”, Italians in bold “Tarantella”, Belorussians in “Veseluha”, Cossacks in “Odnazhdy v Malinovke” (Once upon a time in Malinovka), “Yamshiki” (Lashers), Kalmyks, Argentinians and many others proved how comprehensible the international language of dance can be.
The artists made a wonderful present of an amazing show with professional staging, theatre light and video animation framing the performance to all the children from Kostroma and Kostroma region. They will remember the high running emotions and will keep the esthetic pleasure and unforgettable impressions.
