The famous ballet dancer and acting rector of the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet Nikolai Tsiskaridze spoke about how to build a career for aspiring dancers. According to the celebrity, the choice of educational institutions for future ballet stars is not too extensive. However, Vaganovka always gave its graduates everything they needed to be successful.
Nikolai Maksimovich headed the Academy of Russian Ballet last year and is now trying to establish optimal standards in the educational institution. Tsiskaridze plans that in the near future Vaganovka's diploma will be a kind of guarantee of the artist's success.
“I really would like it very much, so that it was not just a beautiful piece of paper with a beautiful abbreviation,” the famous dancer explained in an interview with Interfax. - And so that it was armor, as Professor Preobrazhensky said, armor for a career. This piece of paper, received here in St. Petersburg, should be higher in status than everything that is. I have always said that there are only three schools in the world. If you want to be a real ballet dancer, you need to study in Paris, Petersburg, Moscow. That's it, they are no longer there. These are the three main centers of ballet culture”.
Despite hints of retirement on stage, today, March 29, Nikolai Tsiskaridze will perform on the stage of the Mikhailovsky Theater as the widow of Simona in the premiere of "A Vain Precaution". Representatives of the theater announced this the day before.
However, the graduates of the academy now have no problems with employment.
“Now, very often, future graduates go to much smaller troupes, because they are immediately offered such a special position - prime minister, and they agree,” Tsiskaridze says. - I didn't care - whatever they said and wherever they invited me, but for me there was only one theater - the Bolshoi, in which I dreamed of dancing since childhood. Everyone scared me that I would work in the corps de ballet at the Bolshoi Theater. I answered: "Yes, but at the Bolshoi." You see, we do not have a law that graduates are required to go anywhere. Sorry, but we have freedom of choice, and our ancestors fought for it very clearly."
