The famous all around the world Russian Todes Ballet comes on a tour to Plovdiv, and the Plovdiv audience will have the unique chance to see their latest show performed for the very first time outside Russia. Their Plovdiv tour is organized by the Degris Production House. The dance-show called ?The most dangerous one? will be performed on December 3rd, at Pavilion 3 of the Plovdiv Fair Grounds. Tickets can be found at the box office of the City Culture Center, and they cost 10 and 12 leva, depending on the location of the seats.The Todes Ballet dancers have danced as background dancers with many famous pop-stars: Michael Jackson, Mariah Carrey, Ricky Martin, Boys to Men, and many more. Now they are planning their own tour to USA. They cannot think of a Russian star they have not danced with. Alla Douhova has been the choreographer of all the ballet stage performances, as well as their show and TV programs for 16 years now.
The staff of the Todes Ballet as a whole is about 200 dancers altogether, but only 22 of them will be dancing in Plovdiv. The dance-show will last an hour and a half, without any pause. The main theme of the spectacle, called ?The most dangerous one?, is beauty and love. The audience will be able to see 15 different dances based on the music by the composer Alexey Garnizov. The show will have no host ? there only will be text read backstage going along with the music. The dancers will be dancing in the so-called ?black box? with no theatrical scenery but only the special light effects.
In the first days of the new year the Todes Ballet will open its own school in Plovdiv. There will be no casting for the students - it will be open for everyone interested in dancing, or just needing some relaxation. The dance-styles that will be studied in the school are hip-hop, funk, jazz and the special ?Todes? style. The monthly fee will be 100 leva.
