The third season of the show “Dancing” is unlike any of the previous ones. Firstly, the project included not 24 participants, as before, but only 20. Secondly, audience voting this season was made absolutely free, which could not but please fans of the show. And thirdly, in almost every concert the audience was in for a small surprise, which sometimes, however, turned into a scandal, which is why the third season of “Dancing” can easily be described as the hottest and most scandalous in history. Woman’s Day recalls the five most notorious stories.
Project finalist Stas Litvinov insulted Olga Buzova
True, now he is a finalist, but at the time of the quarrel with Olga Buzova he was just one of the casting participants. Stas Litvinov came on stage, showed his number and stood up to the microphone to talk a little about himself and listen to the opinions of the jury members. That day, among them were the permanent mentors of the project Miguel and Yegor Druzhinin, professional dancer Tatyana Denisova and the presenter of “House-2” Olga Buzova. She was the first to speak and literally bombarded the guy with compliments.
“You’re in “Dancing,” Olga shouted to Stas, which meant that he had successfully passed this stage.
However, Litvinov did not leave the stage after the verdict, but uttered a phrase thanks to which he immediately became famous.
“Can I listen to the opinion of a competent jury?” – he turned to the mentors.
Olga Buzova realized into whose garden the pebble had just fallen, and, offended that the guy did not take her opinion with due respect, she simply stood up and left the set in hysterics.
The next day, the whole country knew about the daring dancer, all the newspapers wrote about him. Perhaps this contributed to the fact that from concert to concert Litvinov became the leader of the audience vote. By the way, in the semi-finals Stas and Olga finally made peace.
The show took on an underage participant
The rules of the show state that only a person over 16 years old can become a participant. The second boundary is blurred. Even a pensioner has a chance to get into the project if he is an excellent dancer. But children are strictly prohibited from entering, since the conditions on the project are not at all childish: daily round-the-clock training, fierce competition, and there is always a chance that you will be the one to leave the show. And here the most persistent people shed tears. It’s unlikely that the audience will like watching children’s tears... In general, although last season a couple of kids tried to get into the project, but to no avail. And this year, Miguel unexpectedly broke all the rules. For the sake of 14-year-old Muscovite Sasha Kiseleva. She simply captivated him with the level of her professional training and childish character. Throughout her entire journey, Sasha never asked for any concessions due to her age and fought with the other participants on an equal basis. However, she still failed to reach the finals.
Miguel and project participant Keiko had a fight live on air
In the first episodes of the show, the leader of the audience vote in Yegor Druzhinin’s team was Keiko Lee. Well, the audience likes her, what’s wrong with that. However, for some reason, the coach of the other team, Miguel, was literally haunted by this fact. In one of the concerts he made a remark about her dancing, and in another he even got personal!
Keiko made a bold assumption that Miguel was biased towards her because he wanted to see her among the members of his team, and she went to Yegor... She practically betrayed... Hearing this, the mentor lost his temper and could no longer restrain his emotions, telling the aspiring dancer everything that thinks about her. Unable to bear the accusations against her, Keiko ran from the stage in tears.
“On the last broadcast, Miguel told Keiko that she spoke well, but she would dance well. Later, she and I carefully reviewed the issue, listened to the commentary again - and did not understand what Miguel’s remark was connected with,” Yegor Druzhinin commented on the conflict. - This is the opinion not only of Keiko, but also of the choreographer who staged the performance, and mine. She completed all the tasks that were assigned to her. And even more. Like Keiko, I think Miguel might have been upset that she didn't make his team. This is the only explanation I can find. Because if Miguel understands dancing, then he, of course, must understand that the number was danced more than decently.
Miguel, in my opinion, behaved incorrectly. After all, we treat our charges like children, and I would never allow myself to talk to my children in such a tone. Especially with strangers. Of course, there can be criticism, but you cannot criticize a participant for what he says and what he thinks. It seems to me that a mentor should choose the words, expressions and tone in which he communicates. Such behavior does not honor anyone. And I won’t allow my team members to be offended.”
A participant from Latvia started an affair with a colleague on the project
Only six participants managed to reach the finals. The rest had to leave the path earlier. But not everyone left the project empty-handed. For example, although Kostya Zayts didn’t win three million, he found his soulmate on the show.
A guy from Latvia and Anna Andryushchenko from Omsk met at the stage of the first castings. Several stages went hand in hand, they tried to get into the same group together, become a couple, and they even managed to dance a very romantic number at the final casting. However, only Kostya from their couple got into the project. The teachers didn't want feelings to interfere with dancing. And Anya was forced to go back to Omsk. But the lovers kept in touch at a distance and, according to Kostya, planned to reunite in Moscow after he finished his participation in the show.
Children were invited to the special episode, and they danced with the adults
For the first time in the history of the project, its creators decided to experiment: a special issue with the participation of children. There were too many little dancers asking to be in the show. Twelve lucky ones managed to get through and dance together with the current contenders for the title of “best dancer of our country.”
Mentors and choreographers did not hide their fears about such controversial duets; they were afraid that the children would outshine the adults. And how they looked into the water. The young dancers were in no way inferior to their older comrades, and some even surpassed them in some ways. For example, a girl with the pseudonym LiL-PO, who tried to break into “Dancing” last year, is considered one of the best in hip-hop, despite her young age. But her partner Keiko danced this style almost for the first time. You understand who felt like a fish in water on stage, and who shed seven sweats...
In general, although the experiment seemed dubious at first glance, the result exceeded all expectations. The concert turned out to be very touching. Sergei Svetlakov and Olga Buzova, who joined the jury that evening, sometimes could not find words to describe the delight of what the little dancers were doing on stage. They simply couldn’t believe their eyes, and sometimes they could barely hold back their tears!
Stanislav Litvinov is not a genius or a dance prodigy. He has been dancing since early childhood, but today’s success and the nickname “dancing machine” were preceded by years of hard work on himself and numerous refusals in dance projects. Stas did not have the natural ability to dance (the director of the Todes ballet, Alla Dukhova, affectionately called him “a little boletus”), but this never stopped Stanislav; Litvinov did everything possible and impossible to achieve what he has today. Numerous failures in dance projects did not break Stas, did not force him to give up his dream, to which today there is exactly one step left...
Dnepropetrovsk 1990-2008
Stanislav Vladimirovich Litvinov was born on November 14, 1990 in the city of Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine). Stas is the only child in the family. His mother did aerobics in her youth (later she became a pastry chef), Litvinov suggests that it was from her that he inherited his love of movement.
As a child, our hero had problems with excess weight and positioning of his legs - little Stas was crooked. This was one of the reasons that prompted Stanislav’s mother to send her 7-year-old son to dance.
“My mother’s friend sent her daughter to the dance and said: “Let’s send your Stasik there too.” At first I really didn’t want to go, I resisted, but already for the second lesson I flew to the gym like crazy. Thank you mom for insisting that I dance. She is my muse. She made me my first performance costume and did it in one night. It was a costume for the number “Hava Nagila”, oddly enough, in a pop-sports ensemble I danced such a stylization for “7:40”.
In the lower grades of school, Stas was quiet and an excellent student, but in the senior years he turned into a tomboy and a beast; his parents were constantly called to meetings. Litvinov found it easy to study; he regularly took part in Olympiads and won prizes; the only thing he didn’t like was geometry. Our hero grew up extremely active - he took part in theatrical performances, was the host of public events, and participated in the sports life of the school. In addition to dancing, Stanislav attended many other sections and clubs - volleyball, basketball, athletics and even computer courses!
For several years, Stas perceived dancing solely as a hobby. And in the 9th grade I realized that I wanted to do it professionally. In the 11th grade, Litvinov was invited to the Black Sharm creative dance theater, where he became acquainted with club life, modern choreography, and from that moment he realized that he could not live without dancing.
Kharkiv. 2008-2012
In 2008, our hero entered the Kharkov State Academy of Culture, the department of choreographic art, folk choreography class. And, accordingly, he moved to live in Kharkov (about 250 km from Dnepropetrovsk).
— In 9th grade, I understood exactly who I wanted to be, I decided, I told all the teachers at school. With the hint that I don’t need your mathematics and physics - leave me alone, let me dance. I did a lot of things - volleyball, weightlifting, track and field - but I realized that I only got high from dancing.
Why folk ones? Stas’s mother and the director of his dance group in Dnepropetrovsk said that the populist is a real universalist who will dance all styles. Subsequently, Stanislav said that they were right.
In Kharkov, our hero settled in a hostel, and this, as you know, is “a real school of life.” Starting from his second year, Stas not only studies, but also teaches in dance studios in Kharkov (Forsage, Litvinoff dance, Turbo Dance Factory), and also takes part in various competitions and castings for dance projects. In addition, in his 2nd year he was cast in the show ballet “The Fast and the Furious”.
— If I’m not mistaken, you graduated from the State Academy of Culture in the city of Kharkov, at the department of folk choreography. How did it happen that you are now in modern choreography?
SL: Yes you are right. I graduated from KhSAK. In fact, everything was very simple. In my second year, I met some guys, and not just a few people, but all the groups. That is, I didn’t have such a thing as: populists communicate with populists, ballers with ballers, contemporaries with contemporaries. I am a very sociable person and communicated with everyone. And the “contemporaries” guys once offered to take part in the casting for a show ballet. I, of course, agreed. Why not? J Then we went to the casting, and the show ballet really needed guys, and then we were trained in modern styles (house, hip-hop). It all started from there. A little later, I attended my first master class (09/14/2011. Personal note). The classes were conducted by Denis Mirgoyazov. (Popping, jazz-funk, hip-hop).Then the eyes were 5 kopecks each, because you understand that you have never danced this. But it’s okay, I managed. I still remember the choreography ;)
After completing 4 courses at the Academy of Culture and receiving a bachelor's degree, Litvinov transferred to the correspondence department and moved to live in Kyiv.
Dance projects
This is the most important section that will help you understand a lot about Stas. For his sake, I will break the chronology of the article a little and collect all the projects in one section. And I will write here, drawing information not from various sources on the Internet, but from my memory.
As a first-year student, our hero went to Kyiv to watch a live broadcast of the very first season of “Everybody Dance.” And then I was incredibly inspired by the atmosphere of the project and the level of the participants, in particular Oleg Zhezhel.
For the first time, Stanislav Litvinov came to the casting of season 3 of “Everyone Dances”, in 2010. Initially, Stas did not plan to take part in the project; he was preparing for the Virsky competition, but was injured and was unable to participate. Then Stanislav spontaneously choreographed the number in an hour and went to conquer “Everybody Dance.” Of course, the number turned out so-so, and Litvinov’s physical condition left much to be desired, therefore, he received a completely fair refusal at the telecasting.
In the spring of 2011, our hero takes part in the dance project “Maidans” (dance battle of cities, the Russian analogue is “Big Dances”). Stas played for Kharkov. The main choreographer, music producer and one of the jury members of this project was...! And his assistant is Alexey Karpenko. But Miguel and Litvinov were unlikely to intersect, since the project was very large-scale and each city was represented by hundreds of dancers.
In 2011 Stas comes to the casting of “Everybody Dance 4” again. The progress over the year is impressive, Litvinov gets a place in the TOP 100. Notice how happy he is with the trip he received.
In Yalta, Litvinov met and became friends with the future winner of the season Vasily Kozar
And the future head of Apache Crew Tolik Sachivko (second from left)
In Yalta, Stas successfully completed 3 days of testing and failed on the penultimate task - night choreography in groups. Litvinov's group danced folk, which was highly appreciated by the judges, but our hero, nevertheless, was refused. By the way, subsequently none of Stas’s group made it to the top twenty.
Oh, look what I found =) This is the first year when I just started writing reviews. And they were terrible =)
In those days, Stas called himself “Chudik” or “Chudik”, and he also had a signature “trick” with a leg (yes, on the left - Vasya Kozar)
Stas did not take part in the 5th season of “Everybody Dance” in 2012. But during the castings he posted this post:
In the photo, in case you didn’t recognize it, is Alexander Volkov. In the 4th season of “Everyone Dances”, Alexander went further than Stas - Volkov was rejected already at the announcement of the “twenty”. It's funny that in the end, in season 5, Sasha not only made it into the TOP 20, but also became a super finalist, taking the final 4th place in the project! I can only imagine Litvinov’s reaction... By the way, it seems that Stas really didn’t like Volkov. Here are a few more excerpts from Litvinov’s interview =)
— Have you ever wanted to come up with your own style?
SL: Fusion? (Laughs) I don’t know, honestly. I am always searching myself. In terms of the fact that I am constantly looking for new means of expression. Of course, I change my style. Sometimes I review my old works and realize that I dance completely differently. I try and never stand still. Perhaps from all my experiments and searches, something new and non-standard will one day appear.
— How much do you think choreography will change in 20 years?
SL: I hope there will be more big styles and less fusion. Not him, I won’t survive :)
And, in the meantime, it comes year 2013. And season 6 “Everyone Dances”. Season, Panufnik, Twitter and company. Stas again decides to try his luck on the show. It would seem that everything should be on the rise, and this year Litvinov is simply obliged to qualify for the “twenty”. But, alas... Stanislav gets into the “hundred”, but drops out after one of the first days of testing. Moreover, his performance at the casting was not even shown on TV. Litvinov flashed in the cut of the “lucky” ones with tickets, and then at the moment of leaving.
year 2014. Three refusals did not stop Stas Litvinov, and he comes to the casting of the 1st season of DANCE on TNT! It makes it into the TOP 100 (the performance was shown in a cut-scene), but... again a failure. Already the fourth in a row! And this despite the fact that the level of dance training is quite high and quite allows you to get into the TOP-24. Most dancers gave up long ago after so many rejections. But not Stas!
2015. Show “Dance” on Channel One. Fifth (!!!) attempt to participate in dance projects. And finally, success! Our hero makes it to the TOP 26 “Dance” (to the concert stage). This project was distinguished by its terrifying organization, low ratings, but at the same time - the strongest cast of participants and cool productions!
Here are two of Stas’s most striking numbers on the “Dance” show. Duet with Jordanis Forbes
And Litvinov in the image of Rodion Raskolnikov (the main character of the novel “Crime and Punishment” by Fyodor Dostoevsky) paired with Elena Luzina.
In the “Dance” project, Stas reached the semi-finals (TOP-18). He didn't make it to the finals. The project had the strongest male cast: Mogilev, Shipulin, Tagirov, Kalugin. And also the incredibly charismatic Kostya Myakinkov and Danila Sitnikov. And Jordanis Forbes, a genius in his style... Stas was lost against their background, frankly speaking. I remember that at the time of “Dance” I did not consider him a candidate for the final, and I considered the judges’ decision to be fair. But, nevertheless, participation in the project was a huge success and a step forward for our hero.
In 2016, as you all know, Stas came to the casting of the 3rd season of DANCE on TNT, where a long-deserved triumph awaited him. And victory in this project would be a worthy reward for all the efforts made and numerous refusals in previous years.
Education. Master classes
—There are two types of people: those whom God has gifted with natural gifts, and those whom I call “wooden people.” That’s exactly who I belong to – people who, without data and without talents, have made themselves. It took a lot of time, but I'm driven and I'm a workaholic. I believe that hard work will always pay off, especially if you tell yourself “you know you can.” More than once situations arose that jeopardized further dance activities. Of course, there were professional injuries - for example, I tore the meniscus, I thought: “That’s it, I’ll become a mechanic now.” By the way, my first education was as a car mechanic. Recently they cut out a tumor on my spine, I stretched the ligaments - but nothing. Alive.
As you can already conclude from everything written above, Stas Litvinov is not a dance prodigy. He started dancing quite early, received a specialized education, but at the same time it took a very long time and slowly to reach the level that he demonstrates now.
While working on himself, Litvinov attended a huge number of master classes from world-famous stars: Tokyo, Sisco Gomez, Brian Puspos, Lando Wilkins, Vinh Nguyen, Francesco Borgato, Pacman, Miguel Zarate, Sheryl Murakami, Camillo Lauricella, etc.
Pacman makes Stas's famous trick
Stas regularly took classes from Vasya Kozar. And he knows Tatyana Denisova not only from dance projects. Denisova gave classes in Kharkov several times, and our hero studied with her. Stas also attended classes of Ukrainian dancers and choreographers: Anzhelika Karaseva, Denis Stulnikov, Vitaly Savchenko, Evgeniy Karyakin, Kristina Shishkareva and many, many others. He developed in all directions, even taking classes in ballroom dancing!
Litvinov also went to dance camps several times, or rather, to the Mydance Camp - the largest in Ukraine, where the TOP choreographers of the world came to give classes and participants from different countries came (dance camps were not yet organized in Russia at that time).
Kyiv. 2012-2013
In the spring of 2012, our hero finishes his 4th year at the Kharkov State Academy of Culture, receives a bachelor's degree and moves to live in Kyiv. He begins teaching contemporary at the largest dance school in Ukraine “MyWay”.
— After I moved to Kyiv, I started working in the best dance studio in the country, “MyWay”. And I think that everything that happened then was a great incentive for me. All this only made me move forward, because there was a feeling of something unfinished. Then I plowed, worked on myself. Therefore, only advantages.
At the beginning of 2013, Stas worked with Dima Monatik: he danced in his show ballet, and starred in the video for the song “Sorry.”
In the summer of 2013, Stas performed with many pop artists: Svetlana Loboda, Alexander Ponomarev, Natalia Mogilevskaya, Zlata Ognevich, Maria Yaremchuk, Arina Domski, Mila Nitich, Tonya Matvienko, etc., including touring with them.
Moscow. 2013-2014
In the fall of 2013 - spring of 2014, our hero moves to Moscow. In the capital of Russia, he works with pop stars of the first magnitude: Alla Pugacheva, Philip Kirkorov, Valery Meladze, Kristina Orbakaite, Angelika Varum, Nikolai Rastorguev, Serebro group, Dina Garipova, Nyusha, Sati Casanova, Natasha Koroleva, Polina Gagarina, Dima Malikov, etc. .
In January 2014, Stas flew to Monaco with his team
Stanislav works a lot on television, providing dance support to artists. He stars in “New Year’s Light”, the “New Year on NTV” program, the “Top 20 Award on Channel One” and many other programs.
Stas does not forget about his own dance development. In particular, in November 2013 he attends his first krump dance festival!
In Moscow, Litvinov trains at 54 dance studio and even gives his first master class in the capital in the fall of 2013. However, our hero did not stay long in Belokamennaya...
Saint Petersburg. 2014-2016
In April 2014, Litvinov moved again. This time - to St. Petersburg! During the first months in the cultural capital, Stas teaches contemporary at the SHTAB dance school. But the main reason for the move was work in the new theater - Leningrad Center. Preparations for the opening of the theater and the premiere of the Illusio show have been carried out since the summer of 2014, and the premiere took place on December 26.
The show ILLUSIO has an unofficial name - a fairy tale for adult children. As conceived by Felix Mikhailov, the performance is structured according to the classic fairy tale principle - “the path to happiness.” But this is a theater for adult children, and the hero faces questions about the meaning of life, true love and loneliness. ILLUSIO is a musical farce and a psychological drama at the same time. This is a performance with elements of circus, ballet, acrobatics, poledance, workout. A bright, colorful, dynamic show that will create a New Year's mood.
Litvinov was invited to the Leningrad Center by Felix Mikhailov, a theater, film and television director, screenwriter and producer, winner of the TEFI National Television Award, who became the artistic director of the new show space in St. Petersburg. Stas worked with Mikhailov in Moscow.
In 2015, the premiere of the Leningrad Center’s new play “Favorites of the Moon” took place, in which our hero also took part. Stas worked at the Leningrad Center until the start of the concerts of the 3rd season of DANCE on TNT.
In 2014-2016, Litvinov continued his active dance development. In particular, Stas performs as part of the hip-hop team Puzzle (led by Vitaly Ulivanov)
And as part of the hip-hop team “Abzats Crew”. With “Abzats Crew” Stanislav wins the “RedBull Beat Battle” championship. By the way, Egor Druzhinin was on the jury.
Photos from the qualifying round, but “Abzats Crew” won the finals as well.
Stas also continues to work on television, takes part in various television programs and shows: “New Year’s Eve on the First”, “The Voice”, “Evening Urgant”, etc.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the work in Comedy Woman on the TNT channel
And a few more achievements and interesting facts from Litvinov’s life in 2015-2016:
— Choreographer-director in one of the stages of the TV show “I Want to Meladze”, choreographer-director of the Werewolf Family project, assistant choreographer-director of the British director Quinny Sacks.
— In the summer of 2016, Stas’s dream came true - he came to the USA! Studied at the best studio in Los Angeles - Movement Lifestyle Dance Studio. Attended classes by Amanda Gring, Miguel Zarate and others.
One of Litvinov’s last dance works is a duet with Marina Abramova
About inspiration (excerpt from an interview in 2013)
— What or who are you inspired by?
SL: Lately it's been books. The choreography for Alyosha - “I miss you” was created in inspiration from the book “Notre Dame de Paris” read by V. Hugo. But we made the video work itself similar to the film “Ghost”. One of my latest works (they haven’t shot a video yet - material) was created after I saw one video. Which is actually what inspired me. This is a video message from a 13-year-old girl, Marzhana Sadykova ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=DI7434-X8CM), who died of blood cancer. But she realized her dream, people helped her. Even through the pain in her body, she did not stop working, she had a goal and she knew where she was going. In her video, she wanted to convey that everything that is given to us must be accepted with love. That is, you don’t need to be offended by the world, but survive it and move on, don’t stand still. And be sure to value your life.
I am also inspired by emotions, life situations and experiences.
About attitude to dance
— Dance for me is a drug that releases endorphins. I just have a blast, I enjoy every real moment of dancing, because there are different jobs, hack jobs, but when you really live and can interpret your thoughts, it’s worth a lot, and you want to experience these moments again and again. A lot of things inspire me - it might not even be a person or a dance, but a book or a film, or just a situation I saw on the street. Sometimes I have flashes of ideas on the fly when I see something that inspires me.
About unusual hobbies
— Among the unusual hobbies, perhaps, one can name my interest in money from different countries and 10-ruble coins from different regions., And .
Stanislav Litvinov was born on November 14, 1990 in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. The biography of Stas Litvinov does not hide the fact that in early childhood he had problems with excess weight and the position of his legs: the boy was literally clubfooted. When Stanislav Litvinov was about seven years old, his mother decided that it was time for him to take care of himself, and took him to a children's choreographic ensemble. At first Stas didn’t want to go there at all, but after the first lesson it was no longer possible to persuade the boy to skip training.
Stas Litvinov absorbed dances like a sponge. He suggests that the talent for plastic arts was passed on to him from his mother, who at one time did aerobics. By the way, it was Stanislav’s mother who sewed his first stage costumes. After graduating from school, the young man leaves his hometown for Kharkov, where he enters the State Academy of Culture at the choreography department. Already from the second year, he not only studies, but also begins to teach himself, and at the same time participates in various castings and competitions.
Four years later, Stanislav Litvinov transferred to the correspondence department and left for the capital of Ukraine. There he appears in video clips, participates in TV shows, and works with show business stars on stage. Among the celebrities with whom Litvinov collaborated are Nyusha, Timati, Svetlana Loboda, Dima Monatica, Vera Brezhneva, Dima Bilan, Polina Gagarina and several dozen other popular artists.
The young man also became the winner of the RedBull Beat Battle championship as part of the Abzac Crew team. After receiving a diploma of higher education, Stas Litvinov finally turns dancing into a profession: he is a permanent member of the troupe of the St. Petersburg Leningrad Center Theater, with which to this day he tours not only in Russian cities, but also in neighboring countries.
When Stanislav Litvinov still lived in Kyiv, he took part in the most popular Ukrainian choreographic show “Everybody Dance!” True, in the third season he could not even overcome the first stage, but in the fourth he was in the TOP 50, but dropped out after unsuccessful night choreography. Subsequently, the guy made another attempt to overcome the difficult barrier, but again did not make it into the coveted “twenty”.
In 2015, Stas Litvinov demonstrated his dancing in the Russian project “Dance”, where he performed with Alexander Mogilev, the current choreographer of the show “Dancing on TNT”. There, the young dancer reached the semi-finals and was remembered by the audience as a very strong participant. In the first season of “Dancing on TNT,” Stanislav successfully passed the casting, but his career did not receive further development on the project. He returned two years later and this time joined Yegor Druzhinin’s team.
Participant's name: Stanislav Vladimirovich Litvinov
Age (birthday): 14.11.1990
City: Dnepropetrovsk, St. Petersburg
Education: KhSAK
Found an inaccuracy? Let's correct the profile
Read with this article:
Stanislav Litvinov, one of the participants in the show “Dancing on TNT,” was remembered, rather, not for his performance, but for the scandal with Olga Buzova.
Getting excited, the young man incorrectly expressed his opinion, to which the TV presenter was offended, left and threatened to leave her place on the jury forever.
But later it became obvious that the ability to make a scandal is insignificant compared to Stas’s dancing abilities.
He was introduced to dancing by his mother, who herself did aerobics.. She also sewed the first costume for performances. After school, Stas entered the Kharkov Academy of Arts, receiving training as a choreographer.
In his second year of study, he was already teaching beginners with all his might, traveling a lot around the country and abroad to various master classes, improving his skills.
There were many difficulties on the path to success, the most significant of which were spinal surgeries.
Due to regular training and learning acrobatic tricks, Stas developed tumors that needed to be removed.
The future of dance was a big question, but Stas pulled it off and is now part of the “Dancing on TNT” project.
Litvinov’s background includes participation in the First Channel project “Dance”, where he performed with, the choreographer of the current project.
He tried his hand at the Ukrainian TV show “Everybody Dance!”, and won the RedBull beat battle championship. Now he officially works at the Leningrad Center Theater.
Stas highlights contemporary and hip-hop among his most favorite styles., calling them free to develop. Recently he has fallen in love with Argentine tango, and is also interested in Georgian dances, house dance, foot work and others.
Stanislav claims that he came to the show not for fame and money, but to prove to the Russian audience that dance styles are a full-fledged creativity that requires stress and strength.
Alas, in our country movement as an art is perceived only in ballet, which is why Stas is ready to change the established opinion. In addition, he is ready to develop further, and the project will only help him.
In previous seasons, Stas had already made his first attempts, but dropped out of the fight at the stages of improvisation. This time he is ready to fight and prove, despite injuries, the opinions of others and strong competition. His biggest supporter is his mother, and Stas is very proud of this.

Stanislav often appears in photo shoots and videos.
Stanislav Litvinov became famous thanks to his participation in popular dance television projects. He heard “no” many times at castings, but did not lose faith in himself.
Biography of Litvinov
Stanislav was born on November 14, 1990 in Dnepropetrovsk. As a child, the boy was clumsy and clubfooted, and was also overweight. Mom decided to “fight” these problems with the help of dancing and took him to a choreographic ensemble. 7-year-old Stas didn’t want to go there at first, but after the first lesson he changed his mind. He became interested in dancing and did not miss a single training session.
After receiving a certificate of secondary education, Stas leaves for Kharkov and enters the folk choreography department of the State Academy of Culture. Since his 2nd year, Litvinov has been combining his studies and teaching dance to aspiring choreographers. The active guy simultaneously participates in various dance competitions.
In 2012, Stas transferred to distance learning and moved to Kyiv. Here he takes part in the filming of television projects and videos. The following year, Litvinov received a master's degree in choreography and soon was casting for the troupe of the Leningrad Center Theater. He continues to work as part of it to this day.
TV show in the life of Stanislav
As a first-year student, Litvinov went to Kyiv to film the show “Everybody Dance.” He was impressed by the atmosphere there and decided to try his hand at the project. In 2010, Stas staged a number in literally an hour and went to the casting of “Everybody Dance,” but due to an injury he failed to impress the jury.
A year later, the guy takes part in the Ukrainian dance show “Maidans”, performing for the city of Kharkov. In 2011, he repeated his attempt to get onto the “Everyone Dance” project. This time Litvinov passes the casting and finds himself among the 50 best dancers, but does not make it to the finals. The next year he comes to the project again, but does not even make it into the hundred participants.
In 2015, Stas demonstrated his talent in the “Dance” project (Channel 1) and reached the semi-finals. The following year, the choreographer took part in the show “Dancing” (TNT). Many viewers remembered it because of the scandal with Olya Buzova, who was part of the project’s jury. The emotional girl began to praise him, and Litvinov asked for the opinions of professionals. But this quarrel did not affect the guy’s project fate. The jury and spectators highly appreciated his dancing. According to the voting results, Stas took 3rd place.
