A famous poet noted some time ago that in the field of ballet, Russia is ahead of the rest. Lyudmila Konovalova received a classical education in Moscow. And for many years she has been dancing in the Vienna State Ballet.
Starting conditions
The famous tale of the ugly duckling is known to every mature person. However, not everyone went through the tests that are described in the children's book. Lyudmila Lvovna Konovalova is now a famous ballet dancer. Television films are made about her. Theater critics write reviews. Journalists pry secrets of success from her. The current situation is considered completely normal for art lovers. The ballerina willingly shares her impressions of past events. She has a good memory, and she has something to remember.
The future prima ballerina was born on October 17, 1984 in an intelligent family. Parents lived in Moscow. My father worked in a transport company. Mother taught foreign languages at the university. The girl grew up surrounded by love and care. Already at an early age, Luda was distinguished by her plastic movement and her ear for music. As soon as a pleasant melody sounded on the TV, she began to dance. Relatives noticed this addiction. It is important to note that mom was a big fan of ballet. She took responsibility and took her daughter to the ballet school, which operated at the State Academy of Choreography.
Way to success
To get an education in a specialized educational institution, you must have certain abilities and physical data. Lyudmila was not very kindly greeted at school. After long meetings and exchange of opinions, they decided to accept the student in an experimental commercial class. A year later, out of sixteen students, only 5 remained. After the second grade, Konovalova received an unsatisfactory mark in the main subject. There was a question about deductions. In this situation, far-sighted people were found among teachers and made sure that the girl was allowed to attend classes further.
In 2002, after graduation, Konovalova was accepted into the troupe of the Russian State Ballet. At first, she danced in the corps de ballet. A few months later, Lyudmila was entrusted with the leading role in the ballet Swan Lake. The debut performance was successful. Then the dancer began to perform solo numbers in the performances of "Giselle", "Don Quixote", "The Nutcracker". Five years later, the Russian ballerina was invited to the stage of the Berlin State Theater.
