News . Viewers will find out who became the winner of the 11th season. All participants of the project will return to the show for one evening in order to arrange a real holiday together with the finalists and congratulate the winners of the cup. By tradition, the audience is waiting for a number from the jury. Recall that the judging panel included: Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Daria Zlatopolskaya, Yegor Druzhinin and Igor Rudnik.
Dancing with the Stars Jury
Last Sunday, the audience watched couples compete for the right to advance to the semi-finals of Dancing with the Stars.
According to the results of the audience voting, Andrey Sokolov and Ekaterina Osipova left the project. The participants thanked the organizers of the project, the audience and the jury and presented their original dance for the song of Peter Podgorodetsky "My friend plays the blues best of all" as a parting gift. Ekaterina Varnava and Denis Tagintsev again became the leaders of the project, while scoring the maximum number of points - 40. It is noteworthy that during the release, the Comedy Woman star admitted that she had met a new lover backstage of the project, but did not name the chosen one, promising Andrey Malakhov, the host of the project, and jury that will do it in the final of the project.
At the end of the "Dancing with the Stars" standings, with 36 points, there were two couples at once: Andrey Chernyshov - Anna Melnikova, who performed a romantic rumba to a song from Eldar Ryazanov's film "Cruel Romance", and Maria Poroshina - Evgeny Raev. The couple performed a fatal tango.
Artem Tkachenko and Valeria Semenova took second place: the participants performed a passionate paso doble.

It is noteworthy that Tkachenko and Semenova are called the most positive couple by the audience of the Dancing with the Stars project. A few hours ago, the participants, who from performance to performance become confident professionals, told how hard brilliant numbers are given. The star of the TV series "Swordsman" admitted that he trains with a partner for 8 hours.
“I changed my mind. I thought, what's so difficult about it. As it turned out, this is a titanic work. Even cinema, despite 12-hour shifts, is easier, ”the actor admitted and added that he was unlikely to devote himself to dancing in the future. “I would love to devote myself to the sofa,” the artist joked, implying that two months of quarantine passed completely unnoticed for him, and now he can perform as many as seven beautiful dances.
It is noteworthy that Tkachenko was persuaded to participate in the Dancing with the Stars project by his colleague, close friend Pavel Derevyanko. The 43-year-old star of "House Arrest" and "Marathon of Desires" approved the idea of Artem, who is also the godfather of Derevyanko's daughter Varvara, to participate in a dance television project. “Well, brother, come on, of course, participate! Fun. Interesting. Try!" Pavel advised. “I regret it 20 times a day, but I also say to myself the same number of times: “How great it is to dance!” - admitted the participant of the show.
Artem Tkachenko and Valeria Semenova
Valeria Semenova, in turn, admitted that Artem Tkachenko is an excellent partner who takes training very seriously, but at the same time runs out of breath faster than her partner. The professional dancer added that during the rehearsals in the hall, only she, Artem, and sometimes Valeria's husband Anton helps them. Project participants communicate with each other in masks.
Semenova added that the partners did not choose each other, the producers of the show appointed the couples.
“We just met a week before the project and started dancing,” the artist said. It is noteworthy that before the project, Valeria had no idea who Tkachenko was, since she had not watched films with his participation. However, Valeria and Artem were able to find a common language, thanks to some similarities in characters. “Valera and I are similar - she is a Capricorn, I am a Taurus,” the actor admitted live on the microblog of the Russia 1 TV channel on Instagram.

Artyom Tkachenko: "I don't know by what criteria the judges of the show" Dancing with the Stars "evaluate the participants"
Artyom Tkachenko is one of the twelve star participants in the new season of the television show " Dancing with the Stars " of the TV channel "Russia 1" - shared his impressions of participating in the project with Dance.
ru.
What kind of dance does Artyom dream of mastering this year, how is the actor connected with modern ballet, whom does he consider his main rival on the project, and why did he cross himself when he danced the jive.
- Artyom, after two episodes of the show, can you already decide for yourself which of the participants should be considered your main rival?
- This is a show, and our esteemed jury, when giving marks, does not always rely on how professional the performance turned out to be, they give marks based on some other parameters. Perhaps this is a costume, an acting component of the number. And therefore, as we can see after two dances, it is foolish to look for an opponent in professionalism, since there is little that depends on it. Lots of great couples. And who is the opponent is a mystery to me.
- You look very confident on the floor. Did you do any dancing before the project?
- When I was 9 years old, I started ballroom dancing, but it was a very short experience: a month or two.
The next time I started dancing at the theater institute. But, fortunately, in the fourth year we were sent to a stunning performance staged by Vitaly Methodievich Solomin "Krechinsky's Wedding", where as extras we danced (maybe it will be said too loudly) something like a modern ballet. But that was 17 years ago. Since then, all my classes have been reduced to dancing in the shower or in the kitchen.
- How did you decide to take part in the project? Were the pros and cons weighed?
- To be honest, the first time I was invited to the project a few months before the start, and I refused because of the workload, yes, and I didn’t really want to dance. But then one day we were sitting in the company of colleagues, and I told that my name was in Dancing with the Stars. They responded with something like: yes, and it’s right that he refused, because you have to do what you know well, but doing something bad doesn’t make sense, will the loan be dishonored? And it kind of hooked me.
I thought that it is not necessary to be dishonored, because you can make it so that later you will not be painfully ashamed. And then I remembered that this year for the first time in my life I made a map of desires, and in it I noted that it would be nice to learn some kind of dance and perform it with my wife. Specifically, I was interested in the Argentine tango. Remembering this, I thought that this offer was not just received, and we must use this chance to master a new skill. Now I can say that participation in the show and all these systematic rehearsals allow you to get together and organize yourself, and this is a big plus.
- So far you have performed Jive and Quickstep on the project. Do you take part in the choice of dances and music, and how much jive and quickstep do you like?
- We don't choose music, it's given to us, so to speak. Both dances - jive and quickstep - are cool, they are rhythmic and quite incendiary. But with jive it was more difficult, because there were a lot of acrobatic elements in it, and they took a lot of strength.
When we finished the jive, I crossed myself and said goodbye to this dance with relief.
- How much time do you spend rehearsing one dance?
We all spend the same amount of time rehearsing. The next dance is announced on Monday, and we can train until Saturday to show what we can do on Sunday. Accordingly, six days of rehearsals for 3 hours a day.
- What is the most difficult thing for you in learning dance: to learn the steps, to get to the music, or maybe convey the mood?
- Of course, the most difficult thing, as for every non-professional, and maybe for a professional, is to learn the order of steps and not get lost. Well, and of course, to catch the mood. You can mix up the steps, but correct the situation due to the brightness of the image, character and desire.
- How did you feel when you saw your first number on the record?
- I didn't have much enthusiasm or disappointment.
