During ensemble "BARYNYA" performance children are learning about Russian culture through songs, music, dance and language.
Artistic director/founder Mikhail Smirnov plays the garmoshka, a Russian-style diatonic button accordion and guitar.
Dancer Alisch presents Russian, Cossack, Andizhan, Gypsy Roma, Jewish Wedding Bottle dance, and the dance of "Russian Bear".
Musical director of the group, singer, dancer, and balalaika virtuoso Elina Karokhina plays the balalaika, a three-stringed, triangular instrument, performs Russian folk dance "Metelitsa" (The Snowstorm, Russian: «Метелица»), Russian Gypsy Roma dance "Kay One" ("Where Are They"), and Russian traditional dance "Kalinka" (Russian: «Калинка»).
In between playing songs on their instruments, singing songs, and dancing traditional numbers to the music, Mikhail Smirnov shares a little bit of the Russian language. He teaches phrases such as "Thank You" (SPASIBO), "Hello" (ZDRAVSTVUITE), "You're Welcome" (PAZHALUYSTA) and "Bye" (PAKA) as well as the alphabet and counting. He says each word in English and then slowly in Russian, allowing the children a moment to try the words themselves after each one.
After the segment on words, the kids are trying to chatter in Russian for a couple minutes, smiling and laughing about how they sounded. In the middle of the performance, Mikhail pauses to share a couple of Russian tongue twisters, explaining each one in English first, and then saying them in Russian at top speed. With each one, the twisters got more complicated and lengthy. There is even a chance for a handful of children to get up on stage and try out a couple of Russian percussion instruments.
Russian dancers of ensemble Barynya are available for School Assemblies, Children's Program, Corporate Events, TV Shows, Festivals, Performing Art Centers, Restaurants, and other venues in the United States and abroad. Established in 1991, ensemble Barynya performs Russian, Cossack, Ukrainian, Russian Gypsy Roma, and Jewish traditional dances.
Barynya has been invited to perform at some of the most prestigious cultural venues in the U.S., including Carnegie Hall, the Smithsonian, the United Nations, and the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C.
