Averbukh about the death of Dubinskaya: “In recent years, Natalya Petrovna was very ill, but she continued to charge with her energy”

Choreographer Ilya Averbukh told that her former coach Natalya Dubinskaya was very ill in recent years, but she continued to charge those around her with her energy.

Her son Denis Samokhin announced Dubinskaya’s death on social networks. She was 74 years old.

– Of course, this is very tragic news. Unfortunately, in recent years Natalya Petrovna has become very ill. At the same time, she continued to charge everyone with her energy.

She still looked stunning – at 100 years old. We could never figure out how old she was. She always looked very young and energetic. I made everyone pay, really.

She coached me when I was a very young athlete. She always had a strong group. Natalya Petrovna worked in the team of Viktor Kudryavtsev, creating the backbone of his school. Then all the best athletes went to Viktor Nikolaevich. I have the most beautiful memories of her.

His son Denis Samokhin is one of the leaders of Russian dance as a coach. He has a very strong school in Balashikha. His students became champions of Russia last year. In general, Natalya Petrovna’s ice business is continued by her son. I wish him excellent results. He is a determined and hardworking person.

Natalya Petrovna’s grandson Matvey also performs on the ice. Just Denis’s son. It also shows great promise. Perhaps we will see him again very soon in the highest places. So it’s a real ice family.

Strength to your loved ones. And always a nice and bright memory,” Averbukh told .

Dubinskaya trained Irina Lobacheva and Ilya Averbukh, Nikolai Morozov, Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov, Daniil Gleikhengauz, Kamila Valieva, Ekaterina Kurakova and others.
