Hot music, fast tempo, split seconds – and the young athletes are already in the air. Jump, spin, land – we watch with admiration the complex tricks that the students practice during training Moscow Academy of Dance Sport and Acrobatic Rock’n’RollAmong her students are masters of sports of international class, champions of Russia, the world, Europe, and winners of the World Games.
A mos.ru correspondent went to the academy and found out why athletes love acrobatic rock-n-roll and why they regularly compete.
Dance, acrobatics and discipline
Main site Moscow Academy of Dance Sport and Acrobatic Rock’n’Roll is located on 3rd Frunzenskaya Street (building 5, block 1) in Khamovniki. You can recognize the building by its panoramic windows and the large red sign above the main entrance.
The lobby on the first floor contains the administrator’s post, a cloakroom and soft sofas. The sounds of music are carried along the spacious corridors.
“Our academy is the leading institution for the development of acrobatic rock ‘n’ roll in Moscow and Russia. More than 1.6 thousand people are trained in this sport under the guidance of 60 highly professional coaches. Acrobatic rock ‘n’ roll attracts children with its spectacularity and dynamism. Its uniqueness is also in the fact that it harmoniously develops the child. Here is choreography, acrobatics, work on coordination and stretching, general physical training. And also responsibility and discipline,” says Alexandra Zalipaeva, coach and head of the sports school of acrobatic rock ‘n’ roll, which is part of the academy.
The academy trains athletes from the age of six. The preparatory program is selected by assessing the physical characteristics of each child. In the first years of training, children develop musicality, learn dance moves, and get used to the feeling of flying on trampolines and acrobatic tracks. From the age of eight, young performers participate in competitions, where they first receive youth and then adult sports categories.
The next step is the title of candidate for master of sports. It is awarded from the age of 14. Children over 16 can receive the title of master of sports of Russia and master of sports of Russia of international class.
“Acrobatic rock’n’roll is performed in pairs. Young men and women come out onto the dance floor, having prepared a program to a given piece of music in advance. There is also a category called formation in this sport. Teams compete in it. They may include young men and women (“formation mixed”) or only women (“female formation”). Some of our academy’s students try their hand at several categories at once. And we support them in this. We do not limit training by age – the guys continue to train with us even after they turn 18,” emphasizes Alexandra Zalipaeva.
From Kick-Ball-Chencha to Migratory Todes
We go down to the first floor, where there are locker rooms, a gym and a training room. Behind one of the doors is a huge space with high ceilings and a shiny dance floor. This is a multi-purpose training room. It has everything necessary for training athletes: a ballet barre, wall bars, mats, acrobatic tracks and a large trampoline. On it, the guys learn to jump and do somersaults.
Energetic music plays, and couples come out to the center of the room. The dancers join hands and beat the beat, rhythmically moving their legs, as if hitting an invisible ball. This movement is called “kick-ball-chench.” Then the young men cross their palms and help their partners push off. A few seconds later, the girls synchronously turn over in the air.
“Acrobatic rock’n’roll is about coordination, synchronicity and confidence. That’s why we pay attention not only to technique, but also to how the kids feel. In our sport, the girls do the tricks, and the boys throw them up and insure them, so the partners should be taller, stronger and tougher than their partners. It’s also important that both trust each other. To do this, we first work on the fear of heights – this is probably one of the strongest fears in children. First, we introduce the child to the trampoline, try to do simple elements. Then we use a safety rope. It is attached to the ceiling and holds the child. When the trick is done confidently, we perform it without the safety rope,” says Nadezhda Abyzova, a trainer at the Moscow Academy of Dance Sport and Acrobatic Rock’n’Roll.
She has been training athletes for over 30 years. During her classes, Nadezhda Abyzova instills in children a love for music, creativity and sports, and tries to reveal the talent in each student. The main secret of the most striking performances, according to her, is the hard work of the children. They spend three hours a day up to four times a week in the training halls.
Among the girls who soar into the air time and time again is Angelina Lyubomudrova. At 17, she is already a master of sports in acrobatic rock and roll and a member of teams in the categories of “women’s formation” and “formation mixed”.
“My mother brought me to the classes. I remember seeing some guys standing on the shoulders of others, creating an incredibly beautiful figure, and I realized that I wanted to do the same. I was seven then. Over the 10 years of training, I tried to perform different elements – from the simplest to the most complex. One of my favorites is the flight death spiral, when you need to push off from one partner, fly up, turn around and land on the back of the other. At the same time, we do not just perform dance and acrobatic elements, but do it quickly, with energy and drive. Our sport gives emotions, for which we love it. Music and confidence that everything will definitely work out help to catch the right mood,” says Angelina Lyubomudrova, a student of the academy.

To be an artist, a champion and a best friend
Stanislav Neporozhnev, a 19-year-old graduate of the Moscow Academy of Dance Sport and Acrobatic Rock ‘n’ Roll, also speaks about the importance of hard work. He appears on the training floor with his partner, 16-year-old Olesya Zvereva. Together they are part of the Moscow Acrobatic Rock ‘n’ Roll Team.
“Now I am a master of sports in acrobatic rock and roll. This title was my dream. I came to classes at the age of eight and at first enjoyed the music and movements, and then I realized that I wanted to win. To defend the rank, you need to take the corresponding prize place at the championship. This is what I worked for, listening attentively to the coach and honing my skills together with my partner,” Stanislav says.
He is sure that the secret of victory is in unity. Everything works out as it should if the couple is not only danced, but also friendly.
“Without a good relationship, a couple will not work out. In order to trust your partner, share the emotions of performance with him and feel confident in every movement, you need to be friends. That’s why we not only train together, but also spend our free time – we walk, communicate. Thanks to this, the atmosphere in classes becomes not competitive, but almost family-like – we get along so well with each other,” Olesya Zvereva supports her partner.
Stanislav Neporozhnev is studying to be an engineer, and Olesya Zvereva is just deciding what she wants to become, but both are sure that acrobatic rock and roll will always be their favorite thing. But Varvara and Sergey Dmitriev dream of one day professionally training future champions. They continue the family tradition.
“We are brother and sister, and our mother is an acrobatic rock ‘n’ roll coach. She no longer teaches, but thanks to her, our path as athletes began. I have been dancing since I was five, and my sister practically since she was in diapers. At first, we just studied the direction, and then we began to perform at championships. Now we can’t imagine our life without it. Now I am 17, Varvara is 15. We are already candidates for master of sports and in the future we want to become coaches,” says Sergey Dmitriev.
In May, the guys performed at the All-Russian Acrobatic Rock ‘n’ Roll Competition and took fifth place. Today, they continue to hone their skills. Together, they go to the middle of the training hall and, to the sound of fiery music, transform into fairy-tale characters – the Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood.
“Competitions are an integral part of our sport. That’s why we always prepare for something. We can have up to four championships in a row per month. This gives the guys not only ranks and titles, but also invaluable experience. They become stronger, more resilient, more graceful. New horizons open up for them. Our students can enroll in physical education universities, sports and pedagogical colleges, attend referee seminars and evaluate performances at championships or continue to go out on the court, reaching world heights. And they often return to us as teachers. And this is wonderful. It means we are doing everything right,” emphasizes Nadezhda Abyzova.
