STEP FORWARD: "TSPU DANCE THEATER" TOOK THE FIRST PLACE IN THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEST

The creative association "TSPU Dance Theatre" won at the International Festival-competition of arts "Revival" (Moscow, St. Petersburg).

The contest was held extramurally, therefore, it was necessary to send a video with the performance of the number. Head of the Department of World Art Culture and Choreography of the TSPU Timoshenko Larisa Grigorievna, head of the team sent the video with the dance "Soul of a Warrior", which was prepared and performed by students of 3-5 courses of the department.

"Our dance is about the struggle with yourself, about a strong personality. In our choreography, we showed that there are ups and downs, but no matter what, you should not give up and stop halfway, you should only move forward, to your goal, to your dream!" - says Veronica Lapina, a member of the dance team.

As a prop, the dancers chose a familiar object that can be easily used on stage - a chair. It not only served as a backdrop but also helped in creating stunt elements to demonstrate the different levels of choreography. In addition, the chair is a very handy prop that can be transported and always used at competitions, no matter where they take place.

All of the dancers in the group have been involved in dance since childhood. Choreography has grown into a wonderful creative profession, requiring a constant stream of inspiration. The girls draw their strength and ideas from everything that surrounds them: mainly, of course, from their colleagues, who push them to develop further.

"When they say that two heads are better than one — it's about us! We are all different, individuals, which helps a lot in the process when everyone can contribute something different, and it will definitely be taken into account. We try to be each other's helpers and support each other", - says Veronica.
