The ability to dance is a real trend today. Dancing is an indispensable attribute of a healthy lifestyle, mobility and self-confidence. So it is not surprising that many parents from early childhood enroll their children in specialized courses.
Egor Simachev is called by many a mentor by nature. The biography of this person is interesting to many, but he prefers not to stick out his personal. What can you learn about this ballet dancer?
Who is he?
So, who is Yegor Simachev? The biography of this artist is little known. He was born in Moscow, and his creative path was almost predetermined, since his relatives are ballet dancers. In 1995, Simachev graduated from the Moscow State Academy of Choreography, where he studied with a teacher Alexander Bondarenko. After that he was accepted into the ballet troupe of the Bolshoi Theater.
He began to work on a contractual basis only in 2017. By this time, the artist had established himself as a professional and even managed to light up in the world of show business.
Repertoire
Since 1998, Yegor Simachev began to develop in the profession. His biography began with the party of Signor Tomato in the production of "Chipollino" by Khachaturian. A year later, there was Sleeping Bag in Shchedrin's "The Humpbacked Horse". After he danced the mazurka and Krakowiak in the film "The Polish Ball" in the opera "Ivan Susanin". He was in the guise of a village notary in Herold's "Vain Precaution". The year 2003 was successful in the field of work, when Simachev became Gavrilych in Shostakovich’s Light Stream, Peter Leontyevich in Anyuta to the music of Gavrilin, and finally Lorenzo in Don Quixote of Minkus. The following year, good luck again - Halifron in Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty, postmaster in Ward 6 to music by Pärt, Milyaga in Midsummer Night's Dream to the music of Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. Moreover, in the last work he became the first performer at the Bolshoi Theater.
Then there was a time of calm, which, nevertheless, was productive. These are Nepmans in Shostakovich’s “Golden Age”, eunuchs in Adan’s “Corsair” (and this ballet Simachev also performed among the first). Finally, David in Asafiev’s “Flames of Paris”, the Old Man the musician in La Sylphide and Quasimodo in Esmeralda. After Camuso in "Lost Illusions", Bart Boromeo in "Marco Spada" and a shareholder in "Lady with Camellias" to the music of Chopin.
A new step in development
Egor Simachev has a very great professional experience. His biography makes a good impression on all those who are interested and important in ballet. And therefore it is not surprising that many people want to have such a professional as a teacher for their children.
Yegor Simachev's ballet workshop is a success. Children from one to 11 years old are brought here. Ballerinas of the Bolshoi Theater are engaged with students. Classes are not very long - one academic hour. During this time, teachers pass on their skills to beginners, learn how to make pirouettes and fouettes, not forgetting about acquaintance with the traditions of the Russian ballet school.
Children are divided into groups depending on the age from 1.5 to 3 years, from 4 to 6, from 6 to 8 and from 8 to 11. Of course, when dividing, the level of preparation, physical fitness and general capabilities of the child are important. Training is built so as not to harm the child. Of course, classes are held without the arrogance that is present in adult ballet classes.
To supplement
A very interesting and versatile person is the choreographer Egor Simachev. The biography of this person is rich in events, and therefore it is logical that in the workshop there are additional services. For example, ballet lessons in French and English. Basic knowledge of the language is not required, but a preliminary record is needed. You can sign up for a trial lesson or immediately take a subscription. In the child’s lessons, they teach grace, the art of improvisation.
Classes are ground gymnastics, stretching, musical rhythm, choreography and ballet exercises. Even if after such a course the child does not become a theater star, he will be physically and harmoniously developed. Both a large number of graduates and an abundance of awards speak in favor of the workshop, among which the quality mark “Best for Children” and an honorary diploma “For making a special contribution to the preservation of Slavic values”.
Why is it worth coming?
Firstly, people come here because of the name of the founder, as Yegor Simachev is a ballet. The biography of this artist, the coryphaeus of the Bolshoi Theater of Russia, is impressive. He is the performer of many solo and characteristic parts. In addition, he is the heir to the famous and respected ballet dynasty, which simply cannot afford to do anything bad. To the choice of teachers for the school, to creative and organizational issues, to the wishes of visitors to the studio, he approaches meticulously. Each client can express his opinion personally to Yegor and get a response.
Secondly, professional choreographers and ballerinas from the Bolshoi Theater and the Igor Moiseyev Ensemble conduct classes in the studio. They teach not only to repeat movements, but to penetrate into the very essence of dance, to absorb the special culture of ballet.
Thirdly, children’s health is taken care of here, and the teaching methodology is aimed at eliminating and preventing problems of the musculoskeletal system.
Additional hobbies
Why is Egor Simachev so interesting to people? This person’s biography, personal life and hobbies are associated not only with ballet, but with literature and even the world of show business. It turns out that there are two books on the artist’s account. One of them is Vampires, or Bloodsucking Corpses. The second - "Mystical Paris. In the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci."
Simachev wrote about vampires in collaboration with Gleb the Angry and Alexander Biryukov. The book caused quite controversial reviews. Nevertheless, it is very small in the number of pages, and the font is large. In some places the narrative is drawn out. There are deviations not quite on the topic. But there is a curious historical background about Dracula, as well as the history of writing and creating productions of "The Monsters of Frankenstein." There are many rumors and many facts about everything from Vlad Tepes to Van Helsing.
The book about mystical Paris resembles Dan Brown’s novel “Da Vinci Code” not only in mood, but also in its presence in the plot, where legions of curious tourists travel to France to touch secrets.
About personal
Popularity became more when the choreographer Yegor Simachev decided to settle down. He never tried to publicize his biography and personal life, but it became difficult to hide when the world found out about his affair with Anna Nakhapetova, the daughter of Rodion Nakhapetov and Vera Glagoleva. Anna was born in a family of Soviet actors, entered the Leningrad Choreographic School early, and three years later she moved to the Moscow State Academy of Choreography. In 2006, the actress and ballerina married a colleague at the Bolshoi Theater - Yegor Simachev. Before the wedding, the couple lived together for several years. Anna’s daughter Polina was born from Yegor, but the family union did not save the child.
As a reason for the separation, the ex-spouses called domestic disagreements. However, they did not become enemies and now maintain friendly relations. Egor spends a lot of time with his daughter. After a divorce from Anna, the artist married again, and also on a colleague in the workshop. Simachev has three children in this marriage.
