State Academic Choreographic Ensemble

"BIRCH" named after N.S. Nadezhdina

Artistic Director - Mira Koltsova

State Academic Choreographic Ensemble "Birch" named after N.S. Nadezhdina is a world-famous collective that has become the true heritage of our country. The distinctive qualities of "Birch" are expressed in the combination of classical dance with the poetry of an old round dance.

The “visiting card” of the ensemble is a girl’s round dance on the theme of the Russian folk song “In the field stood a birch”, which has been bewitching the audience for more than half a century with its outlandish, “floating” step. But over the years, according to the press, the artists of the ensemble "Birch" have traveled with their signature step a distance exceeding the length of the equator!

Waltz “Birch”, dance “Rechenka”, “Kalinka”, square dance “Khokhloma bench”, “Russian dance with a scarf”, “Festive dance”, “Carousel” and many other ensemble programs are known and loved by spectators of different generations. “At the center of any of our work,” said the founder of the ensemble N.S. Nadezhdina, whether it be a lyrical dance or a merry dance, is a poetic image of a Russian girl ... We want to reflect as clearly as possible the purity and grandeur of Russian folk art. ”
