Discovering the World

Leonid Shagalov

Description

Essays and photographs detail the fascinating experiences of a soloist dancer as he toured internationally with the Beryozka State Dance Company over a fifteen-year period.
This book is extraordinary. It introduces the reader to the behind-the-scenes world of the ballet dancers of the famous Beryozka Dance Ensemble. He tells about the difficult preparation of that lyrically beautiful, and sometimes enchanting dance festival, which is seen by spectators who come to the concert of the ensemble in any country. Moreover, this book talks about the unusual situations that the artists of the Ensemble found themselves in when traveling across different countries and continents. And there were many such situations, because the Beryozka Ensemble performed in more than 60 countries around the world.
The author of the book, a dancer himself, a dance teacher and a participant in the events described in the book, seeks to bring the impressions of foreign trips and convey the unique atmosphere of each country, consciously or unconsciously drawing comparisons with his native country.
The book is based on real, non-fictional events and undoubtedly has cognitive and educational value for the inquisitive reader.
The book is richly illustrated with photographs by the author.
