In the team of the Kalmykia State Dance Theatre “Oiraty,” entire dynasties of dancers are already taking shape. For example, Viktor Ivanov, a graduate of the Elista College of Arts named after P. Chonkushov, is currently a ballet tutor specializing in folk dances.
Even as a student of the choreography department, he has already toured many cities as part of the dance theater artists, and also became a laureate of various competitions.
By the way, he inherited his love for dance art from his father, Vasily Ivanov, who worked for many years as a ballet dancer at the Oiraty Dance Theater.
It should be noted that this renowned team has always been able to use the origins of folk dance, expand its horizons, bringing it to perfection, because this is a famous dance theater. These tasks have always been set and successfully solved by the artistic director and chief choreographer of Oiratov, Honored Artist of the RSFSR, Hero of Kalmykia Pyotr Timofeevich Nadbitov.
