| It has become a good tradition for Barynya dancers to introduce a new numbers of the program before the Russian Nobility Association in New York City during annual Spring Ball. Our version of Hopak - Ukraininan folk dance - was introduced for the first time during Russian Nobility Ball 2005. Tsyganskiy (Russian Gypsy Roma) folk dance and song Kai Yone was first seen during RNB-2007.
In 2008 we brought our brand new number: English inspired dance of Russian Nobility "Danila Cooper" also sometimes spelled as "Danila Kuper", "Daniel Cooper" (in Russian "Danila Kupor") Danila Cooper dance. Russian Nobility Ball 2008, New York City Arrangement Anatoly Trofimov, choreography Valentina Kvasova, costumes Yana Brink and Svetlana Gavrilova, idea Mikhail Smirnov, MUSICIANS: Leonid Bruk (balalaika contrabass), Lev Zabeginsky (balalaika), Victor Danilochkin (bayan), Mikhail Smirnov (gusli), DANCERS: Mikhail Nesterenko, Olga Chpitalnaia, Ganna Makarova, Alexey Maltsev.
About Danila Cooper dance It seems that dance "Daniel Cooper" (in Russian version, "Danilo Kupor") was an actual dance - to be more precise, contradance, an old English dance characterized by quick and easy movements.
F. F. Wiegel in his "Memoirs" (part 1, M., 1864, p. 62, first published in "Russky Vestnik", 1856) wrote that "one of these contradances was named a Danilo Kupor, probably after its composer, a certain Englishman Cooper". "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy: Daniel Cooper dance scene "Look at Papa!" shouted Natasha to the whole company, and quite forgetting that she was dancing with a grown-up partner she bent her curly head to her knees and made the whole room ring with her laughter.
And indeed everybody in the room looked with a smile of pleasure at the jovial old gentleman, who standing beside his tall and stout partner, Marya Dmitrievna, curved his arms, beat time, straightened his shoulders, turned out his toes, tapped gently with his foot, and, by a smile that broadened his round face more and more, prepared the onlookers for what was to follow. As soon as the provocatively gay strains of Daniel Cooper (somewhat resembling those of a merry peasant dance) began to sound, all the doorways of the ballroom were suddenly filled by the domestic serfs- the men on one side and the women on the other- who with beaming faces had come to see their master making merry.
"Just look at the master! A regular eagle he is!" loudly remarked the nurse, as she stood in one of the doorways.
The count danced well and knew it. But his partner could not and did not want to dance well. Her enormous figure stood erect, her powerful arms hanging down (she had handed her reticule to the countess), and only her stern but handsome face really joined in the dance. What was expressed by the whole of the count's plump figure, in Marya Dmitrievna found expression only in her more and more beaming face and quivering nose. But if the count, getting more and more into the swing of it, charmed the spectators by the unexpectedness of his adroit maneuvers and the agility with which he capered about on his light feet, Marya Dmitrievna produced no less impression by slight exertions- the least effort to move her shoulders or bend her arms when turning, or stamp her foot- which everyone appreciated in view of her size and habitual severity.
The dance grew livelier and livelier. The other couples could not attract a moment's attention to their own evolutions and did not even try to do so. All were watching the count and Marya Dmitrievna. Natasha kept pulling everyone by sleeve or dress, urging them to "look at Papa!" though as it was they never took their eyes off the couple. In the intervals of the dance the count, breathing deeply, waved and shouted to the musicians to play faster. Faster, faster, and faster; lightly, more lightly, and yet more lightly whirled the count, flying round Marya Dmitrievna, now on his toes, now on his heels; until, turning his partner round to her seat, he executed the final pas, raising his soft foot backwards, bowing his perspiring head, smiling and making a wide sweep with his arm, amid a thunder of applause and laughter led by Natasha. Both partners stood still, breathing heavily and wiping their faces with their cambric handkerchiefs.
"That's how we used to dance in our time, ma chere," said the count.
"That was a Daniel Cooper!" exclaimed Marya Dmitrievna, tucking up her sleeves and puffing heavily.

14 апреля 2008 добавил танец со змеёй. Очень интересно, будет ли кто-нибудь пытаться его купить. Это довольно дорогое удовольствие, около $600 локально, если танцовщице никуда не нужно ехать далеко. 13 апреля добавил в список новую танцовщицу из Нью-Йорка по имени Кристал - танец живота, арабские танцы 001. 7 апреля 2008 года. добавил 5 видео к страничке дуэта скрипачей из Нью-Йорка Нина и Изя Данченко hi5.com | myspace.com | facebook.com | pulse.plaxo.com | www.folkr.org | www.tagged.com
