Дед Мороз и Снегурочка

В России Дед Мороз и Снегурочка являются символами праздника Нового Года , самого любимого празника у большинства россиян. Дед Мороз впервые появился на Рождество в начале 19-ого столетия. В советское время окончательно сложился образ доброго Дедушки Мороза, который приходит со своей внучкой Снегурочкой, поздравляет всех с наступлением Нового Года и приносит детям подарки.

Новый Год в Нью-Йорке

В Нью-Йорке также есть люди, которые с удовольствием празднуют Новый Год по-русски: ставят елку, кладут под неё подарки и вызывают своим детям Деда Мороза со Снегурочкой. У русскоговорящих жителей Нью-Йорка принято праздновать Новый Год в русских ресторанах и веселиться всю ночь.

Почти в каждом русском ресторане за 5 минут до наступления Нового Года Дедушка Мороз (иногда один, а иногда и со Снегурочкой) поздравляет всех с наступающим Новым Годом и звучит знакомая каждому песня "Пять минут". Барыня Энтертейнмент обеспечивает вызов Деда Мороза и Снегурочки в офис, клуб, магазин, ресторан, бар, кафе, детский садик, домой, на корпоративную вечеринку, детский Новогодний праздник, в штатах Нью-Йорк, Нью-Джерзи, Коннектикут, Пенсильвания, и во всех пяти районах Большого Нью-Йорка: Манхэттене, Бруклине, Квинсе, на Стейтен-Айленде и в Бронксе. Дед Мороз и Снегурочка придут по указанному Вами адресу и поздравлят детей, руководство, сотрудников и посетителей. Чтобы пригласить Деда Мороза со Снегурочкой обращайтесь к Михаилу Викторовичу Смирнову в концертное агенство Барыня.

Ансамбль песни и пляски донских казаков

Государственный Академический ордена Дружбы Народов Ансамбль песни и пляски Донских Казаков был создан в 1936 году. В основу концертной программы были положены народно-песенные традиции Донского края: могучая лирика казачьих песен, захватывающие пляски, обрамлённые тонкой вязью музыкального сопровождения. Танцевальные номера программы создавались с учётом характерных особенностей хореографической культуры Дона. Кроме чисто фольклорной программы имеются сюжетные танцы, посвящённые героическим страницам прошлого и настоящего донских казаков, хореографические миниатюры и шуточные танцы.

Ансамбль постоянный участник крупнейших фестивалей страны «Русская зима», «Московские звёзды», «Северное сияние», а также крупных международных форумов культуры. Высокому мастерству артистов прославленного коллектива рукоплескали восхищённые зрители многих стран Европы, Азии, Америки, Африки. Везде Донские казаки получали восторженный приём. В прессе авторы рецензий называли артистов из Ростова-на Дону «очаровательными», «великолепными», «ошеломляющими», «неистовыми»! О том впечатлении, какое произвели зарубежные гастроли ансамбля Донских казаков на публику и профессиональную критику, можно судить по заголовкам рецензий, появившихся, например, в американской прессе:
«Русская трупа ошеломляюща» (Серакьюз)
«Казаки великолепны» (Сафферан)
«Танцоры ослепили зрителей» (Мертл-бич)

где в нью йорке найти деда мороза со снегурочкой?

Актуальный вопрос: где в Нью-Йорке найти Деда Мороза со Снегурочкой?

Ответ очень простой: Ансамбль Барыня располагает несколькими костюмами Деда Мороза и Снегурочки. Причем, Снегурочки и Деды Морозы из Барыни поют, танцуют и играют на музыкальных инструментах, а Снегурочки - все красавицы как на подбор. Дед Мороз и Снегурочка поводят хороводы вокруг ёлочки и споют для Ваших детей или гостей все необходимые в таких случаях песенки:

В лесу родилась ёлочка
Маленькой ёлочке холодно зимой
Ой мороз-мороз
Вдоль по улице метелица метет



Чтобы пригласить деда мороза и снегурочку связаться с Михаилом Смирновым, директором ансамбля Барыня

On December 21, 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30, 31, 2007 from 12PM till 4 PM New York based Russian dance and music ensemble Barynya dancers and musicians were leading a group of Russian Father Frosts and Snow Maidens (Ded Moroz and Snegurochka) to greet New Yorkers and promote new TV Channel "RUSSIA TODAY". to hire Father Frosts and Snegurochkas contact Barynya Entertainment Barynya performers featured on photos by Dalia Bagdonaite: artistic director of Barynya, singer and Russian folk accordion garmoshka player Mikhail Smirnov, singer and dancer Valentina Kvasova, singer Alexander Menshikov, balalaika virtuoso Lev Zabeginsky, Russian button accordion bayan virtuoso Victor Danilochkin, dancer Olga Chpitalnaia, dancer Danila Sherstobitov, dancer Andrij Cybyk, dancer Natalia Ejova, dancer Olga Sokolova (Aisha), dancer Anna Mikhailenko and others. In the culture of the Eastern Slavs the traditional character Ded Moroz (Russian: Дед Мороз) plays a role similar to that of Santa Claus. The literal translation of the name would be Grandfather Frost. However, English-speakers traditionally translate his name as the alliterative Father Frost. Ded Moroz brings presents to children. However, unlike traditional Russian Ded Moroz Father Frosts of Barynya ensemble bring the sound of Russian Holiday to the streets of big city. Ded Moroz is accompanied by Snegurochka (Russian: Снегурочка), or "Snow Maiden", his granddaughter. Snow Maiden - Snegurochka Olga Chpitalnaia The traditional appearance of Ded Moroz has a close resemblance to that of Santa Claus, with his coat, boots and long white beard. Specifically, Ded Moroz wears a heel-long fur coat, a semi-round fur hat, and white valenki or high boots (sapogi), silver or red with silver ornament. Unlike Santa Claus, he walks with a long magical staff, does not say "Ho, ho, ho," and drives no reindeer but a troika. The official residence of Ded Moroz in Russia is the town of Veliky Ustyug. The residence of the Belarusian Dzied Maroz is in Belavezhskaya Pushcha.

Фотографии нью-йоркского ансамбля Барыня были использованы государственным танцевальным ансамблем из Петербурга

Ensemble Barynya from New York photos were used by Saint Petersburg’s State Dance Company Ensemble "Barynya"
for their poster in Cyprus. We do not mind, it is just weird.

Фотографии нью-йоркского ансамбля Барыня были использованы государственным танцевальным ансамблем из Петербурга. Мы, в принципе, не возражаем, но это довольно странно...

СПРАВКА: Ансамбль "Барыня", Санкт-Петербург

Санкт-Петербургский государственный ансамбль танца «Барыня» (худ.рук. - з.а.России Т.Тимохина).

Посредством хореографического, музыкального, вокального искусства ансамбль раскрывает

духовное богатство народов России, показывает ее прошлое и настоящее, ее изумительную

богатую природу. Тема этого концерта русское казачество, уже при Петре казаки были в близком

окружении великого царя и несли ему достойную службу.

НАШ КОММЕНТАРИЙ:

Молодцы-ребята, привет от нью-йоркской Барыни Барыне Санкт-Петербургской!

Cocktails 7:30 PM, Dinner 8:30 PM, Dancing 9 PM

Ensemble Barynya will provide music for cocktails and performance of our eight dancers during dinner (around 9:30-9:45pm). Barynya will start the program with "Danila Cooper" ("Danilo Kupor", "Daniel Cooper", ru: "Данила Купер") dance.



About "Daniel Cooper dance" from "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy:

"Look at Papa!" shouted Natasha to the whole company, and quite forgetting that she was dancing with a grown-up partner she bent her curly head to her knees and made the whole room ring with her laughter.

And indeed everybody in the room looked with a smile of pleasure at the jovial old gentleman, who standing beside his tall and stout partner, Marya Dmitrievna, curved his arms, beat time, straightened his shoulders, turned out his toes, tapped gently with his foot, and, by a smile that broadened his round face more and more, prepared the onlookers for what was to follow. As soon as the provocatively gay strains of Daniel Cooper (somewhat resembling those of a merry peasant dance) began to sound, all the doorways of the ballroom were suddenly filled by the domestic serfs- the men on one side and the women on the other- who with beaming faces had come to see their master making merry.

"Just look at the master! A regular eagle he is!" loudly remarked the nurse, as she stood in one of the doorways.

The count danced well and knew it. But his partner could not and did not want to dance well. Her enormous figure stood erect, her powerful arms hanging down (she had handed her reticule to the countess), and only her stern but handsome face really joined in the dance. What was expressed by the whole of the count's plump figure, in Marya Dmitrievna found expression only in her more and more beaming face and quivering nose. But if the count, getting more and more into the swing of it, charmed the spectators by the unexpectedness of his adroit maneuvers and the agility with which he capered about on his light feet, Marya Dmitrievna produced no less impression by slight exertions- the least effort to move her shoulders or bend her arms when turning, or stamp her foot- which everyone appreciated in view of her size and habitual severity.

The dance grew livelier and livelier. The other couples could not attract a moment's attention to their own evolutions and did not even try to do so. All were watching the count and Marya Dmitrievna. Natasha kept pulling everyone by sleeve or dress, urging them to "look at Papa!" though as it was they never took their eyes off the couple. In the intervals of the dance the count, breathing deeply, waved and shouted to the musicians to play faster. Faster, faster, and faster; lightly, more lightly, and yet more lightly whirled the count, flying round Marya Dmitrievna, now on his toes, now on his heels; until, turning his partner round to her seat, he executed the final pas, raising his soft foot backwards, bowing his perspiring head, smiling and making a wide sweep with his arm, amid a thunder of applause and laughter led by Natasha. Both partners stood still, breathing heavily and wiping their faces with their cambric handkerchiefs.

"That's how we used to dance in our time, ma chere," said the count.

"That was a Daniel Cooper!" exclaimed Marya Dmitrievna, tucking up her sleeves and puffing heavily.
