— My solo number, which I show for the first time today, is a joint work of Ilya Averbukh and my coach Svetlana Vladimirovna (Sokolovskaya). Everyone contributed 50/50. I also added something. I dance to the song “Light of Eternal Flame”.

In the mass number “Invictus” there is a common pattern due to the repetition of the same movements. First, just the guys go out, perform their elements, line up in one line. Then others come out and are added to the first. As a result, the line – like a conditional defense, defense – expands and expands. There is a certain symbolism here, the idea of ​​​​saving the city is rooted here, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Kondratyuk’s words.
