It's time for the East Ulpressa - all the news of Ulyanovsk
Russian golden-haired beauty Ekaterina Bushova is engaged in oriental dances. Performs and teaches others. She opened her own school in Ulyanovsk called "Shanti".
Last April, Ekaterina took part in the Open East Dance Festival of the Volga Federal District, where she took third place in the "Beginners" nomination. This is her first tournament of this level, so the girl could not compete in other categories. For two and a half years, Ekaterina has been dancing in restaurants, clubs, cafes. There is no end to orders. This year, the dancer is graduating from the Faculty of Transfer Specialties of the Ural State University.
– I have been dancing since the age of three – ballroom, classical, ballet, folk, variety. One day I accidentally watched a cassette with a training program on oriental dances.
I decided to try it, everything was easy, especially since I already had dance training. Now I am engaged only in oriental dances, I went into them with my head.
– Why did they attract you?
– Grace, I guess. There is some mystery in them. And oriental dances are more emotional than pop or the same folk dances. In addition, attracted oriental flavor.
– Have you been to the East?
- No, never.
– Then, perhaps, Eastern blood flows in you?
- The most interesting thing is not! I really want to go to the East. Next year I will try to find funds to learn from oriental professionals and become a certified specialist, and not self-taught.
– Did you prepare for the competition on your own?
- I took individual lessons in Dimitrovgrad from Gulnara Safiullina, an oriental dance teacher. We will cooperate further. In December, we want to organize an oriental dance concert with her in our city. There has never been anything like this in Ulyanovsk.
We will try to invite stars from Moscow.
– How developed is this area in Ulyanovsk?
- Oriental dances are not developed at all in our country - there is no professional school, there is no local league. No one took us seriously at the championship (the city was represented by three people). Our goal is to prove that Ulyanovsk is also worth something, and we can dance no worse than Samara, where there is a very strong school - Samara girls did incredible things at performances! When it comes to restaurants, competition is on the rise. There are seven or eight people dancing, and two and a half years ago I started alone.
– Why is oriental dancing so developed now?
- A certain type of dance is popular at every time. There was a time for ballet, musicals, ballroom dancing. Now the East. Uncharted zone. People are interested...
– Are there any varieties of oriental dances?
- Oriental dances are called Belly-dance. It means "belly dance".
There are a lot of directions: classical oriental dances, restaurant type of performance, fusion - a mixed direction, Spanish oriental dance called “Andalusia”, a mixture of oriental dance with yoga and Indian dances is called “Trible”. There is such a direction as show-belly dance - “belly dance” with candles on the head, with some objects - canes, candelabra, swords, snakes ...
– Which species is closer to you?
- Restaurant. I started with him. Now I'm learning the classics. I would like to continue to develop in this direction.
– What kind of music do you dance to?
- Under the instrumental, under the so-called pop - "Arash", for example. In the instrumental there is folklore and classical music. Although a dancer who has reached a professional level will be able to perform a belly dance to “Yellow Tulips”. So the “east” can be danced to any music. The question is, is it necessary?
– How strong are Russian girls in oriental dances?
– There are more than two hundred styles of oriental dances – Persian, Syrian, Turkish, Arabic… But there was no “Russian belly dance” until recently.
Recently, such a concept was introduced. Russian girls added classical choreography to belly dance.
– Does oriental dance have its own philosophy?
- One must merge with the music. You need to know it by heart, study every beat, every drum, every bell so that all movements are coordinated.
– What qualities should a belly dancer have?
– First, you need to have a desire. The girls I teach don't just exercise to lose weight. They want to develop, bring something new to the dance. There must be plastic - sometimes completely wooden ones come across. You need to have the ability to grasp the manner of performance.
– Are oriental dances as easy for Slavic women as for oriental women?
- Does not depend on nationality. You just need to love to dance. We have children from 6 to 10 years old, teenagers 14-16 years old. The oldest dancer is 64 years old. She began to practice in order to improve her health - her spine hurt. Six months of training helped her a lot.
I didn't expect it myself! Even the doctor noted improvements.
– What do you want to achieve in your business?
- Participate in competitions, win prizes in new categories, improve your category. There is a goal - to get a diploma of a specialist in oriental dances. It will be great if a professional school appears in Ulyanovsk.
– What inspires you?
– I love the stage very much. You go out in a beautiful suit, music sounds, spotlights shine ... You look at the audience - someone doesn't care, but someone likes it. Nicely. When you hear “You dance great!”, I want to become even better.
- You are studying at the Federal Customs Service. They say that the students of this faculty have a very busy schedule. How do you manage to do everything?
– To be honest, it was very difficult. I left the house at seven, returned at 11-12 pm. I was getting ready for classes on the bus. At some point in my studies, I really moved out. But then she pulled up.
Now I am finishing…
– What specialties do you get?
- Sociology and jurisprudence.
– In the future, are you going to work in your specialty or will dancing become the main thing in your life?
- I want to combine both. I have been working as a teacher-organizer for six months now.

Music is a universal tool that moves the world, it is literally inscribed in our DNA. With its help, we can inspire and shape the pop culture of the present and future here and now. Music is inextricably linked with dance. Dancers feel the rhythm and are able to harmoniously complement the musical composition with movements.
It is dance that gives them a powerful emotional release and helps them relax. And to feel this, it is worth taking one small risk - allowing yourself to dissolve into the music and turn off your head. How to take the first step and not be afraid to try what you are drawn to? We deal with Tommy Jeans, PRODANCES and our heroes, who found a common language with their fears and learned to express emotions through music and movements.

Choice between dance styles
I consider myself a versatile artist, doing several dance styles, but most of all I am known for the Vogue culture. This is not just a dance style, but a whole culture about protecting the rights of sexual minorities. This culture is very daring: here and now you can look whatever you like - fully comply with fantasies, externally and internally, carry yourself proudly, inventing new images. Vogue is a great occasion to dress up, surprise, delight.
Exactly 10 years I have been developing in this direction, and it does not bother me, I constantly learn new things.
Synergy of dance and music
Good composition inspires dance. First came the music, then came the dance. But it also happens that a dance is born in silence, without sounds: when you have the right mood and a visualization of movements is born in your head. But this comes with experience. Of course, dance and music are closely related.
An alternative to dancing
Now, in parallel with dancing, I am developing as a director, producer and co-organizer of dance events, doing photography and video. Therefore, it seems that if it were not for the dance, then my activity would be connected with the organization of cultural events. I like to create, develop and bring something new, inspire myself and others, reveal people, come up with new ideas. I also love to cook, so I could be a great cook.
How the image begins
I focus on my mood, how I look: I can be in different weight, with different hair colors and lengths.
Trends play an important role here. Of course, first of all, I start from my expectations and how I want to look. I try not to repeat myself, to be different. I ask myself what kind of makeup I want: bright, aggressive, calm, romantic, defiant. Do I want to be sexy or conservative. This is how I collect the image. I take things from my own wardrobe or turn to stylists, ateliers, sometimes I can rent something from showrooms. Creating an image is always very interesting, it helps to show creativity.
Uniqueness - awareness
Comparison does not give us anything, it takes energy and strength that can be spent on developing and multiplying potential. The uniqueness must really be realized, each person defines himself. Sometimes you need to think about what you want. As soon as you realize your own value, then claims to yourself will disappear. You can’t compare your beginning of the path with someone else’s middle.
Finding yourself
It is not worth holding on to people and things, no matter how selfish it may sound.
Then you will understand what you like, and what is imposed by society. When looking for your own business, it is important to start from inner feelings, focus on those very “butterflies in the stomach”.
Philosophy of dance
Dance is body language. I dreamed of being a presenter, but oratory is difficult for me, it’s easier for me not to speak, but to dance. When I hear music, I breathe, the body emits vibrations, vibrations are reflected in the plasticity of forms, in movements, emotions. Dancing helps to develop personality. It's a unique way of expressing yourself. Sometimes words are not needed to understand us.

Sports and creativity
My dancing journey started 10-12 years ago. I quit playing professional football, where I got seriously injured, burned out emotionally and physically, and could not walk normally. A friend called me to support him at a dance performance, where I saw how people can control and feel their body, I missed this in football.
I think dance and football are similar: football also has a pace, a rhythm, it's a dance with a ball. But the structure is different, football is a sport, and dance is creativity.
The right music
I'm looking for music on streaming services. Usually I think about which track is more suitable for a performance, I put on performers who meet the requirements, and I look for a suitable track. Everything is pretty simple.
WHEN THERE IS NO INSPIRATION
Usually at such moments I get distracted: I review some large-scale shows, performances of stars, listen to music. There is another way - to abstract. If everything is tired, you need to give yourself time to relax, switch to another activity. You can cook food, watch a movie. Taking a break from what you do all the time can provide inspiration and motivation.
Dance clothes
Clothes are one of the main attributes of dance. It gives character to movements, creates mood.
I love to dance in jeans, voluminous t-shirts. It is very important for dancers that we ourselves like how we look, this sets the tone for the performance.
Comparing is okay
When you're at the start, it's okay to compare yourself to others. Helps you understand what you are missing. But then it is better to focus on your own feelings. Everyone has their own style, physiology and musicality, you just need to work on technique. When people follow someone, try to copy, it only leads them astray.

Friendship with Tommy Jeans
The first project with Tommy Jeans was something very unusual for me. I got to know the brand better, learned a lot of new things, despite the fact that I have been wearing their clothes for a long time. The collaboration was a pleasant surprise. The emotions are very cool, I hope that in the future we will be friends and work with Tommy Jeans.

The main thing is to continue
I have been dancing for 16 years now and I have never thought of quitting.
In 2012, I broke my arm, and after the operation there was practically no rehabilitation period - two weeks later I was already in the gym. For some time he danced only on his feet, with his hand bandaged, and two months later he already participated in the championship. With apprehension, of course, but he participated. The main thing here is to continue.
Hobby can become a profession
I have been dancing since I was 10, but in my childhood I didn’t realize what I was doing and why, I didn’t set big goals. Some results began to appear in the first years of training. At the age of 14, I went to live in Moscow, without parents, then the realization came that dancing could become my life's work. This transition of a hobby into a profession happened very smoothly and organically, but it could not be otherwise.
Music is paramount
When it comes to performing, music is very important. If the audience likes the composition, then my solo will definitely be remembered.
It is also important for me how my body and soul respond to the track. At competitions, the DJ is responsible for the music, the dancers do not know what they will perform under. This is freestyle, improvisation, connection with the composition. If you fall into a musical "pit" during a battle - this is the most difficult moment, you need the right settings. In general, music is paramount. If the dance has a great soundtrack, then there are more chances to show your maximum.
Clothing as a guide
I wear what I feel comfortable and easy to move in. I perform mainly in sports things. In breakdancing, style is very important. I always separate things: for everyday life, training, competitions, festivals. Each separate occasion requires a corresponding image.
Metamorphoses in a career
At the very beginning of the journey, it was not difficult at all: there were no obligations, deadlines, projects. I remember that in my childhood a bank was built next to my house and tiles were laid - I was happy just because I could spin on this tile.
Now it is more difficult - more responsibility. You begin to treat your body differently, study yourself, fill bumps. For example, there is such an element of air twist (power rotational movement in breakdance), all my life I did it intuitively, and only after 10 years I realized that there is a technique that you just need to master.
The excitement hasn't gone away
I've competed in championships in over 30 countries, performed on big stages, acted in TV projects, but the excitement hasn't gone away. At small events, it is a little less, but at the World Cup, where legends look at you, this feeling pervades the body. I use it to my advantage - as soon as I take a step, I release adrenaline and accelerate.
Everyone is unique
We are all special, no two people are the same. Uniqueness is not something to strive for, it is already in everyone. You need to be able to feel yourself and your needs, to do what you really like.
Working on oneself and realizing one's potential is what makes a person himself.

restrictions and freedom
since childhood I have been engaged in gymnastics (while the video with my Vogue has not scattered on the Internet) and today I understand - both sports and dances require complete return. In addition, they become part of your life, which brings you a storm of emotions. The main difference is that in sports you are limited, you adhere to discipline, and in dancing you are free, open to new things. It is easier to find yourself in dancing.
Dancing is an opportunity
A professional dance career has opened up many opportunities. Thanks to dancing, I met interesting people - sport would hardly have given me such a chance. The people who appeared in my life incredibly support and inspire me, it helps to develop. I was able to visit different countries, see what other dancers are capable of.
I also starred in music videos, collaborated with major brands, for example, in October I participated in the Tommy Jeans x PRODANCE project for the first time. Then I was able to show my dance to a large audience and proved to myself that I can achieve a lot. I have long liked the Tommy Jeans brand, and the opportunity to work together made me very happy.
Style is a mix
Honestly, I can't describe my dancing style in one word. I tried many directions, most of all contemporary or modern dance resonates with me. The plasticity and technique of this style are very close to me, I like the sensations during movements. To summarize, my dance style is a mix of different directions, improvisation, taking into account different dance experiences.
Motivation and willpower
Willpower helps to achieve goals. I make decisions and start working and giving my best. If you really do what you love, then no additional motivation is needed. What you love doesn't require much effort.
Clothes are a reflection of yourself
Clothes help complete the dance. If I go to hip-hop, then I choose voluminous things. I associate this style with freedom, so clothes should not hinder movement. If I go vogue, I choose tight-fitting clothes that emphasize the curves of the body and help me feel more confident.
Music guides
Place of music in dance
Usually dancers choose music first. With the help of the body, we try to convey the lyrics of the song, the mood. I first look for a track, and then I select a choreography that describes the melody, words and feelings.
onward
Comparison is a fine line
By comparing, we evaluate ourselves, and this affects our confidence, general condition and desire to move on. Comparison sometimes helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses, but most people tend to look for flaws in themselves, so more often it is quite destructive and interferes with the implementation of plans.
There is a fine line here: if a person is able to objectively evaluate his own and other people's abilities, then the comparison is acceptable, but if not, it is better not to even start.
