Nour: A Biography
by
Ekaterina
Belly dance became the
only and favorite dance for Nour. This dance, having its
own rules, was like the flight of a soul, especially for
one who sees dance as art and not just personal
exhibitionism. [click the link for

 Salsa
in Rostov-on-Don
The triumphal procession of Latin
American club dances (salsa and merengue) in the world
hasn’t reached that extend in Russia yet. Nowadays salsa
clubs are open in three Russian cities – Moscow, St.
Petersburg and Rostov-on-Don. The fact that people
started dancing salsa in the capitals is not surprising
and in Rostov it came thanks to several happy
coincidences.
First and most important are, no doubt, the Rostov
founders of the
"Boogaloo"
club Marina and Gennady Vanyushin. They managed not only
to catch their students up in love to salsa and Latin
American rhythms but also to set the teaching of salsa
in Rostov to a high level. Thanks to that it is now
possible to speak of Rostov school that differs from the
Moscow and St. Petersburg ones.[click

History
c/o
RUSSIAN CLASSICAL
BALLET AND MODERN DANCE
In Russia, a country where
classical ballet is a king - or tsar, as the case
may be - one wonders what the other dancers look
like. After all, there is no training ground here
for modern Wunderkind, almost no regular performance
space, and until the fall of communism, virtually no
contact with the Modern schools in the West.
The answer: Russian dance has made inroads -
spiritual and personal inroads.

 The Merry Tsarina
and Russian Dance c/o
Russian Classical Ballet
Before the reign of Peter the Great, dance in Russia existed
only among the common people, among the peasants and lowest
classes living outside the city fortresses. The feudal nobility
did not dance, but enjoyed the amusing services of dancing
clowns, who were on the whole, men.
This difference
among the social classes in the development of dance culture
occurred naturally as a result of one historical event: the
Tartar-Mongolian invasion and the subsequent destruction of Rus
(the old Russian kingdom). This invasion ruined the people's way
of life and interrupted the development of the dance traditions
of its people by halting its logical succession. [click the

RUSSIAN CLASSICAL BALLET AND MODERN DANCE
Russian Classical Ballet is well known
all over the world. Since the 19th century it has continued
to be the best. Russian Modern Dance, however, is not as
popular even in Russia itself, and almost unknown for the
rest of the world. It appeared in Russia much later than in
Europe and in the United States, and it has not more than 20
years of history, but certainly has a promising future.
This site's primary purpose is to introduce the world of
Russian Classical Ballet and Modern Dance. As a consequence,
the site contains mostly the links to different sources on
the web that are organized by topics. Only history of both
Russian Classical ballet and Modern Dance movements is given
in a full text version.

Nour
was born in Moscow where she began her studies of
choreography at the age of 8. She was focused upon folk
dances from Uzbeck, Tadjick, and Azerbaijan. As time passed,
her achievements in dancing were so good that she was
invited to the school of a state folk Uzbeck dance troupe
called “Bahor”, headed by Kundus Mirkarimova.
Belly dance became the only and favorite dance for Nour.
This dance, having its own rules, was like the flight of a
soul, especially for one who sees dance as art and not just
personal exhibitionism. [click the link for more]
