In the castings not only pupils of orphanages and boarding schools took part, but also young dancers brought up in foster families and under guardianship. All organizers received about a thousand applications from those wishing to dance on the big stage. However, only 145 of the best were able to get on TV. Among the lucky ones was a young native of Taganrog.

Not surprisingly, according to Valentina Vasilyevna, her failed daughter-in-law - Alena's mom, was moving well and had a well-built figure. The daughter communicated with her mother, despite the fact that she was deprived of parental rights, and when the child was 11 years old, the woman died. In 5 years, the grandmother decides to give her granddaughter a dance. However, due to the fact that my grandmother worked in shifts, there was nobody to take the girl to classes and the classes had to be stopped. At the age of 7, Valentina Vasilievna again led the granddaughter to ballroom dancing. Since then, the girl did not stop doing and showed excellent results. It is worth noting that to shine on the floor - the pleasure is not cheap, only the outfits can be ruined. - Sewing one dress costs about 40 thousand rubles, - says Valentina. "Where can I get this amount?" Sheu sama. Alena's success in the dance field is confirmed by numerous letters. The girl repeatedly took prizes in regional competitions, but she did not have the opportunity to dance "all over the country" before the teleproject. "To take part in federal competitions, we need money, at least to pay for travel and accommodation, and we can not afford such expenses, - says the pensioner. About the project "You are super! Dances "Valentina Vasilievna was told by the class teacher of the girl." We gladly sent the application for participation along with the granddaughter's video recordings, "the woman recalls. - However, there was no hope to get on the project. But soon an unexpected call came. The interlocutor on the other end of the wire said that now Alena will have to pass a casting online - on Skype. We freed the place and put the computer in a comfortable position. Alena in a beautiful dress began to dance her favorite "Cha-cha-cha."A photo: NTV After watching the dance, "people in the monitor" asked Alena to show her hands. Estimating how the girls' brushes work in the dance, the members of the selection committee were satisfied. The grandmother watched with excitement what was happening. Soon there was a long-awaited call. "You are in the project," Valentina Vasilievna told. Within a week, my grandmother and granddaughter admired the scenery from the window in the train "Rostov-Moscow". In the capital they were accommodated in a hotel. It's worth noting that the organizers took all the costs. "In Moscow, with our children, and there were more than a hundred people, choreographers are beginning to be engaged," the woman says. "Alena complicated her dance, put new chains, ligaments ... Training lasted two weeks." I watched various musical competitions on TV and dreamed of once taking part in such a show, "Alena told a Woman's Day correspondent. - It's incredibly scary to go to such a big stage, your knees are trembling. Especially when in the jury sit such stars as Yegor Druzhinin, Kristina Kretova, Eugene Papunaishvili and Anastasia Zavorotnyuk. Very worried that I can forget some movement.
