"I don't like vulgar dancing." Egor Druzhinin about the show, "Todes" and children's twerk

In Volgograd, the final of the TV show "Battle of Champions" was held, the main jury of which was the famous Russian choreographer, ex-mentor of the popular TV project "Dances" Yegor Druzhinin. On the creative meeting he answered the questions of journalists and young dancers - he told why he no longer took part in the popular program, what dances he doesn’t like, what he thinks about contemporary choreography and what he would do if he chose another career. About this and much more - in the material "AiF-Volgograd".

“I no longer believe in the project”

- Why did you leave the Dancing project?

Everything has its time. I'm already tired of this project, it seems to me that it needs some kind of "new blood". There, of course, there are many pitfalls, but let them remain a secret, it would be wrong to talk about them. The main thing is that I no longer believe in this project. I have nothing to do there - everything that I wanted to achieve there, I have already achieved. The essence of the project is that you prove something, so that there is a conflict, and I have nothing to prove.

Did you really have a tense relationship with Miguel (Russian choreographer, mentor in the show "Dancing" - approx. "AiF-Volgograd") or is it just a scenario, a confrontation for the sharpness of the air?

Yes, but this is not a script. I think when people feel antipathy towards each other, it shows. We just go our separate ways.

- In what state, in your opinion, is modern choreography?

She is in recent times suffers from a lack of performance. We love that choreography that is simple and specific, but it lacks zest, it does not convey the mood enough, does not tell a story, is similar to physical education. I like the choreography that requires the dancer to get used to the choreographer's style, to understand what nuances he conveys, otherwise it's consumer goods, pop choreography.

- What is dance for you?

Dance is a state of freedom. Anna Sigalova once objected to this (Soviet and Russian choreographer, actress - approx. "AiF-Volgograd"): the dancer must perform someone's text, remember in large numbers things, constantly control their movements, where is the freedom? But when you are on stage, nothing can stop you. All choreographers with their comments, critics and well-wishers remain behind the scenes. You can do whatever you want on stage. Three minutes of "communication" with the viewer is your moment of truth, freedom in "talking" with him with the help of movements, no one will interrupt you.

- Do you have a favorite dance style?

There isn't one. A person who loves dance should appreciate it in all its versatility. In any direction there is something interesting, important, exciting.

What kind of dance do you dislike?

I do not like vulgar types of dances, and those that do not suit the performers look inorganic. I don’t like twerk performed by three-year-old children, but this has nothing to do with the direction itself.

- When you started dancing, what direction was the first for you?

It was jazz dancing. Then my father's team and I tried rock and roll, tap dancing. At the age of 14, I began to dance breakdance, then classical. In America, he began to study street, hop, modern, flamenco, ballroom dancing and more.

“I was never satisfied with the way they performed my choreography”

Did you often talk about how late you started dancing? How old were you and what prompted you to do this?

In fact, he began to study when he was preparing to shoot in the film about "The Adventures of Petrov and Vasechkin" (in the popular Soviet painting Yegor Druzhinin played Petya Vasechkin - approx. "AiF-Volgograd"). Together with my father's team, each lesson began with jazz dance. But at that moment it seemed to me that I was not yet dancing, it happened unconsciously.

Consciously, I started dancing quite late, when I was already studying at theater institute. We had dances there, but it was not at all what I wanted. When he graduated from high school and went to America, he began to deal with them more seriously.

- You used to work a lot with variety performers. Why don't you stage dances for the stars anymore?

At some point I became uninteresting to work with them, because there was no development. It's starting to appear now. new music, and then it was the same, and it was difficult to put dances under it, it did not fascinate.

- And now, would you like to stage a dance for one of the artists?

There is no such ambition. In my practice, there were very good dancers and famous pop artists who did not move well. I'm sorry I didn't meet someone else interesting. I was never completely satisfied with the way people performed my choreography. Either they weren’t up to par with the acting, or they didn’t feel the movements.

"Dance school is not a business"

- Do you have your own dance school or do you work only on television now?

Television projects are not my main job, these are odd jobs. In general, television itself random thing. Today there is a project or transmission season, tomorrow there is none. I mainly do theater and search for interesting genres in it. I don't have a school yet. I believe that this is not a random thing. Many things must come together in order for you to be ready to devote your time and energy to her. It is impossible to create a school as a business, for example, like at Todes, or just because a project has arisen, and now it would be convenient to draw attention to this school on its wave. The place where the school will be located is important, it is important that it looks good, that the children feel comfortable in it, that parents know to whom they give their children. Not every person who got on television can be a teacher, this is a gift, a talent.

I don't have a dance school yet. I believe that the creation of a school is not a random thing. You can’t make a business out of it, for example, like at Todes. Not every person who got on television can be a teacher.

- Do your children dance too?

Our children are engaged in dancing, but we do not force them. Younger son turns on the music and moves, as God puts on the soul, and he really likes it. Nobody teaches him. The eldest daughter used to go in for dancing, it is very easy for her, but she is not drawn to it. A burden of responsibility presses on her - her father is a famous choreographer. Therefore, unfortunately, I do not work with her myself, but take her somewhere. Wherever she dances, everyone likes her very much. But she herself, being a demanding person, believes that she must either dance no worse than me, or not dance at all. But it seems to me so, we do not often communicate with her on this topic. The middle son moves very specifically. He also dances now, but his dances are strange, he probably would have succeeded in tectonics if he knew what it was.

It often happens that a dancing group with the same performance at one competition, she gets first place, and at another, the judges harshly criticize her. Why is this happening?

Many choreographers are mentally ill people. They see the world through the prism of their preferences, views. They argue in the spirit of “if I did this, it would be good, but the way someone else does it is bad.” This is an inevitability.

- And how do you feel about your fame?

I don't treat myself like a star. I can easily take the subway and go somewhere. Just yesterday, some uncle cursed at me in the parking lot because I "beeped" him once again. He asked me: “If you are shown on TV, are you the most important?” A star is a person who gets noticed. I do not feel any fame, life has not changed after film and television projects.

I like the choreography that requires the dancer to get used to the choreographer's style, to understand what nuances he conveys, otherwise it's consumer goods, pop choreography.

- If not for dancing, what would you do?

There would be many opportunities. Now, for example, I do choreography less and less, because I like to give myself to directing. The time when I was fascinated by choreography has passed. I am now fascinated by a person, I like the way people exist on the stage, regardless of whether they dance or sing on it. Even if I worked in a factory, it would still be quite a creative mission for me. I have always liked doing things with my hands. My grandfather worked as a mechanic at the company and we spent a lot of time together, inventing all sorts of things, making airplanes. In addition, I draw well, I could play the piano, although music school never finished. I would find a job for myself. Well, then, I have an education as an actor, I could continue to work in the theater or cinema.

Egor Druzhinin in the second season of the show Dancing on TNT has a very strong team. Yegor Druzhinin hope to win through his ward. Yegor Druzhinin and Miguel have some kind of confrontation between themselves. In the first season of the show, Dancing won Ilshat from the team of Yegor Druzhinin and Yegor does not plan to lose in the second season of the show.

The team of Egor Druzhinin in Dancing 2 has the following members:

Yegor Druzhinin clearly hopes that a member of his team will again become the winner of the show Dancing on TNTquot ;. But how will he manage to keep the title the best mentor show Dancing already in season 2 we will see very soon (and what can oppose Miguel's team). Well, everything will depend on these guys who got into the team to Yegor Druzhinin:

• Yura Rybak(one of the favorites, in my opinion) and Polina Bokova;
• Ivan Mozhaikin and Yulia Nikolaeva;
• Oleg Klevakin and Yulia Rogozinskaya;
• Sofa (Sofya Kolbedyuk) and Dmitry Maslennikov;
• Evgeny Gorenyatenko and Anastasia Cherednikova;
• Maisa Claudia and Mitya Staev!

• So the qualifying stage of the second season of the show Dancing on TNTquot ;. And each of the mentors chose twelve dancers for their team. Chose long and hard. But Yegor Druzhinin gave preference to the following dancers, who will continue to participate in the show and compete for the title of the best:

  To be honest, I was very surprised. when Sophia Kolbedyuk went to Yegor. Not his type. It's interesting what they can do. As for ambitions to reach the final, I think Kolbedyuk, Bokova and Rybak have chances.

  As a result of the casting, the following participants were in the team of Yegor Druzhinin:

  1. Anastasia Cherednikova.
  2. Dmitry Maslennikov
  3. Dmitry Staev

  Glory to the Internet and the century high technology! The composition of the team members of Yegor Druzhinin has already been posted. And this stellar dozen included the best, according to Egor, dancers, among them: Maisa Claudia (I was surprised, I thought Miguel would not give her up!), Mitya Staev, Anastasia Cherednikova, Ivan Mozhaikin, Polina Bykova, Yuri Rybak, Yulia Rogozinskaya , Sofia Kolbedyuk, Oleg Klevakin, Yulia Nikolaeva, Evgeny Gorenyatenko.

After the first season, the success of the show "Dancing" was deafening. Great amount people watched the participants, admired professional dances and learned new directions of this art. In addition, the popularity of the project led to the fact that schools and dance courses began to open throughout the country. Therefore, the release of the second season was a foregone conclusion.

Team Miguel

Egor Druzhinin's team

The structure of the project remained the same - at the first stage, castings in various cities. Moreover, the seventh city, Vladivostok, was added to the 6 cities of the first season. At the second stage, the guys are waiting for the distribution of mentors. Each of them has his own style, draws attention to different moments, but at the same time both are respectable professionals. As in the first season, this is Yegor Druzhinin and Miguel. At the end, the winner will again receive a reward of 3 million rubles and a crowd of fans.

Again, Miguel's team takes a "not simple" participant. If last time it was Druzhinin's sister, now it is the daughter of the soloist of the Disco Crash group Tatyana Ryzhova. Time will tell what a girl who dances in experimental style can give out. The most extravagant member of the team is Anastasia Vyadro. Her style is strip plastic. The frankness and sexuality of such dances discourages and gives the girl a chance to win.

Don't miss the fun:

By the way, Miguel again has a lot of hip-hop dancers. It did not help him last season, but this mentor is not one of those who deviate from his principles.

Egor Druzhinin also could not refuse unusual dancers. Chief in terms of extraordinaryness in his team, Mitya Staev is a pole dancer who creates his own own direction"Pylon Tango" The only dancehall dancer Sofa Kolbedyuk looks incredibly beautiful on stage. Her style is energetic, plastic and at the same time provocative due to the active movement of the hips.

What will lead the dancer to victory this time - classical movements or latest destinations? It turned out that the second! Miguel's team managed to take revenge, Muscovite Maxim Nesterovich became the winner, speaking in the styles of krump and experimental.

At the end of the release, Maxim made an offer to the choreographer of the show - Katya Reshetnikova.

Actor, dancer, choreographer and director working with many famous people. He puts on performances and shows, works with dancers and, in addition, is the husband and father of a large family.

How did the career of Yegor Druzhinin begin?

In his youth, Yegor did not want to connect his life with dancing, he liked it much more acting art. Especially this love intensified after the boy became a celebrity, starring in the film "The Adventures of Petrov and Vasechkin", although at first for him work in the film was just a good reason to skip school.

Egor's path in choreography began much later, although the boy always had perfect example in the form of a father who was a famous choreographer, he enrolled in a ballet school only after much persuasion. Currently Egor Druzhinin is a choreographer and director, puts on performances and is a mentor at.

Show "Dancing on TNT" and the team of Yegor Druzhinin

The show gave Egor even more popularity, respect, fans and support, because he has whole team - Egor Druzhinin's team, which has individual style and unique recognizable handwriting.

Departure of Yegor Druzhinin from "Dances"

To the great disappointment of the fans, after the third season, Yegor left the project, but Druzhinin's team still continued to exist former members the teams took part in the productions and performances of Egor, and many new participants who came to the project wanted to get to him, and Yegor Druzhinin's team was a dream for them.

Perhaps this influenced the fact that in the fifth season Yegor again took the mentor's chair. Because of this return, the rules of the show have undergone some changes and now fight for the title best dancer countries and three million rubles will be participants from three teams at once.

The return of Yegor Druzhinin to the project

The return of Yegor was a surprise not only for the audience, but also for his colleagues - and. Tatyana became a mentor in the project only last year, but Miguel has been working there since the very first season, by the way, the only one in which she won Druzhinin's team.

The reaction of colleagues to the return of Yegor "

The reaction to the return of Yegor was different: Tatyana said in an interview that it was expected and would be quite interesting, both for the audience and for the mentors themselves. Miguel, in turn, hinted that he and Yegor had unspoken conflicts that viewers might have noticed in past seasons, and said that he was "preparing for tin". Also in his words one could catch a hint that for so many years Druzhinin's team won only once and further participation in the show does not make sense.

Through all the seasons, disputes and competition between two mentors go like a red thread. Their views are radically different, their teams have polar different moods, different approaches to work and different tastes in dancing. Miguel is the representative of more modern styles, such as , and the like, while Druzhinin dance team chooses more classical ones, often turning to tap, jazz and. Maybe. It is this difference, the polarity of views and competition, that became the reasons for the conflicts and the fact that Miguel is not very happy about the return of his colleague. But the dissatisfaction of the other members of the jury does not affect anything in the fifth season. Druzhinin's team will be reborn again.

Opinion of the audience

Some viewers suggest that Tatyana will be able to smooth out conflicts between men, relax the situation and the competition will not be so fierce. The other half argue that having a woman in the mentor's chair will only add fuel to the fire and further increase competition.

The winners of "Dancing on TNT" and the new team

For the most part, the winners of "Dancing on TNT" come from Miguel's team, but everything can change in the new season and the victory will be Druzhinin's team. Fans and choreographers of the team strongly believe in this, because the composition of the participants is becoming more and more powerful every year, and new participants, watching previous seasons, learn from the mistakes of their predecessors.

In the fifth season Egor Druzhinin's team very strong and can definitely claim victory in the dance show on TNT.

The final composition of the team of Yegor Druzhinin Season 5:

• Mikhail Kilimchuk
• Alexander Lee
• Karen Stepanyan
• Sasha Gurianova
• Anton Lushichev
