A world famous choreographer Amador Lopes prepares the kharkovites for the second season of “MaidanS”

The second season of the most ambitious TV dance show in Ukraine “MaidanS” starts in September of 2011.
The toss of participating teams will occure on the 3rd of September. That day the so-called presentation of the cities will occur too. The cities will show their dance skills in the live broadcast of “Inter” channel. This year a famous choreographer from Venezuela Amador Lopes trains Kharkov maidancers. He has been to Kharkov for two weeks already and he conducts trainings and castings every day.. .
Now the maidancers are training in the sports manege of Kharkov aviation university. The dancers received the premises with a help of Kharkov city council.
«The city council helped us last season too. We made costumes, received the place for trainings, guarded it with the help of the deputies. They also helped us with the organization of live broadcasts. This year the municipal power also helps our guys fight for the victory», - the administrator of the project in kharkov Victor Milovanov admitted.
This year the number of those who came to the first castings decreased triple comparing to the last year. As the organizers say it may be explained with the period of vacations.
«Last year the castings were begun in winter and everyone who wanted to take part in them were able to participate. This year we have started to choose participants in the middle of summer when all the students from other cities and have gone away, and schoolchildren are on their vacations. That is why only 350 people have come yet. Last year there were more than a thousand people. But we hope that castings in August will fulfill the team of those who would like to fight for the city», - Victor Milovanov admitted. .
He also underlined that a half of those who came are the guys who protected the honor of Kharkov last season and decided to gain a status of the dance capital for Kharkov. The main renovation of this season is a world famous trainer.
«At first we had certain concerns about a new choreographer. Especially the maidancers of the first season were not trustful about him. Of course, they have loved Sasha Yevmeshko already and they could not imagine anyone else at his place. But when they saw Amador Lopez working, how much energy he gives during the trainings they became glad to see him at our side. By now we have had any uncertainty that Amador is giving a new breath to Kharkiv team and is leading it to leaders’ position.», - the administrator of project underlined.
The choreographer himself told that it was his personal initiative to become a trainer of Kharkov team of MaidanS. He initiated his participating in the project after seeing the dancers of Kharkiv fighting for the right of being called the best. .
«Having watched the performance of Kharkov team I understood that it was the most coherent and organized one. Kharkov has the strongest team spirit. I liked everything, from the costumes to the energy, - the choreographer underlined, - when I started to work with the guys I understood that I had not made a mistake. My heart burnt when I saw their wish to dance.».
According to the words of Amador Lopez it was his first visit to Kharkov. After the end of the last training on the 6th of July he is leaving for Kiev but he is coming back in August to get a complete cast.
«I’ve been to Ukraine for a long time but I have never been to Kharkov. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the city and I know it is a city of fountains, there is the biggest square in Europe here. I have not had enough time to walk around Kharkov yet because I train the guys every day and I don’t have enough time. But I know that the main love in Kharkov for me is my team, my maidancers. We are going to continue castings and trainings in August to find 500 participants. For now we are in lack of boys. We need 70 people», - Amador Lopez admitted.
He underlined that the main point now is to gather a team of 200 people for their presentation in Kiev on the 3rd of September. They need 100 girls and the same number of young men. The main theme of the presentation is a fight of genders.
«Feminism is developed very much now. The girls want to rule the world. We want to show that the sun shines for everyone in the same way. We must be equal in our rights and help each other», - the trainer added.
According to his words Kharkov team is going to present dances of people of the world in the second live broadcast. The themes of next broadcasts will be defined by the organizers and scriptwriters of the project. In whole the choreographer intends to teach the kharkovites different styles and trends
«My specialty is conga and, of cource, it will be reflected in the general style of the team. But kharkov is going to dance everything. But Kharkov will dance everything. I am sure not in my desire to teach only but in the guys’ desire to learn, - Amador Lopez underlined. My main task is to make the watcher’s breath stop during the show of Kharkov team».
According to the words of the organizers of the project the plan an ambitious dance flashmob with a participance of 40 thousand people on the 1st of September. It wiil be hold on support of Kharkov team of MaidanS.
