Biography

The famous dancer was born in Moscow on October 8, 1988. For the first time, the dancer was honored to go on stage at the age of five, he took part in a dramatic production called "School for Immigrants". It was attended byfamous personalities like Abdulov, Zbruev and Karachentsev. And although Lantratov himself got a small episodic role, even this made it possible for the future premiere of the Bolshoi Theater to feel love for the stage.

More Lantratov did not have to participate in dramatic productions. However, many years later, in one of his interviews, he said that if he had not become a dancer, he would certainly have tried himself in dramaturgy. As a child, he first appeared on the ballet stage, running among other children in the ballet Don Quixote.

Family

Lantratov Vladislav Valeryevich comes from a ballet family. Mom, dad and brother were dancers, so the boy had no special alternatives. Initially, the ballet was the choice of famous parents, although Vladislav himself was satisfied with this idea.

Father - People's Artist of the Russian Federation Valery Lantratov, at one time was the premiere of the ballet and performed at the Moscow Academic Musical Theater, and then became a soloist of the Kremlin Ballet. Mother - Leshchinskaya Inna, was a soloist of the same Moscow theater, and later worked at the Moscow Lenkom Theater as a teacher-choreographer. It was behind the scenes that little Vladislav spent his childhood.

By the age of eight, the boy was hired by a teacher-tutor, who prepared him for entering the choreographic school.

Study

Lantratov became a student of the Moscow Academy of Choreography when he was nine years old. Although Vladislav's parents were the initiators in this matter, in the future they did not tryto control his son, on the contrary, they gave him freedom, which greatly influenced the future artist, making him an independent person. The year of study changed the boy beyond recognition, the mischievous quickly became a serious pupil who clearly understood the essence of his work.

Vladislav was one of the last students who studied with Ninel Popova. Later he was taught by Leonid Zhdanov, Igor Uksusnikov and Ilya Kuznetsov. “Vladislav Lantratov is a dancer without data,” that is what they originally said at the academy. Therefore, at an early age, he understood one important truth: in order to survive in the world of art and achieve real heights, you need to try and work tirelessly. Already in 2005, Lantratov was the performer of the main part during the graduation concert in the ballet "Classical Symphony".

Career

After graduating from the academy, Lantratov Vladislav participated in the corps de ballet of the Bolshoi Theater, but this did not last long. Already during the second theatrical season, the dancer performed solo parts. During the period of work in the theater, rehearsals with Lavrov gave Lantratov a lot. It was his assistance that helped the young man to show masculinity in his dance. After that, the dancer managed to work with V. Lagunov, later the artist said that he became more than just a teacher for him. Subsequently, Lantratov worked on such performances as The Legend of Love, Spartak, and Ivan the Terrible with Alexander Vetrov. It is these parts that the soloist of the Bolshoi Theater associates with one of the periods of his creative take-off.

The dancer called the role of Onegin in the production of the same name by John Cranko a great gift of fate. The spark of emancipation and love in him was considered by Jean-Christ Maillot, giving him a part in The Taming of the Shrew.

The artist has been awarded various awards more than once. In 2010, he was awarded the Triumph Grand Prize. 2012 was marked by the Soul of Dance prize, which was awarded by the Ballet magazine. Lantratov Vladislav, whose personal success story cannot but inspire, was twice named dancer of the year. In 2014 he was awarded the title by the Italian edition of Danza & Danza, and in 2015 by the German edition of Tanz.

Vladislav Lantratov: the personal life of a star

The leading soloist of the Bolshoi Theater was acquainted with the People's Artist of Russia Maria Alexandrova a long time ago. However, last year, when Petruchio tamed the recalcitrant Katarina on the stage, the artists became close in life. Maria had a lot of emotional experiences behind her, so Vladislav's feelings became a reward for her. Romantic walks, surprises and meetings in a cafe could melt the ice, soften and awaken feelings in this strong woman.

Such a personality and bright reincarnations in the Bolshoi Theater are rare. It's hard to say what other stage surprises to expect from a talented dancer. However, Vladislav Lantratov always uses his creative chance one hundred percent.
