Biography
Alexander Volkov - one of the most rapid participants in the popular dance TV show "Dances on TNT" and "Everyone". This is a dancer who attracts attention not so much by professional technique as a charisma and bright images that emphasize their own dance style fusion.Childhood and youth
Alexander was born in the small town of Novocheboksarsk on April 5, 1986, located in the Chuvash Republic. Initially, the dancing boys did not interest: Eastern martial arts attracted a much more child, especially Kung Fu, which Sasha was engaged in wondering and pleasure.
However, Alexander's native sister, who was serious about ballroom dance lessons, was left without a partner, and in a small Novocheboksarsk, it was quite difficult to find a guy of the appropriate age, who wanted to study dance, and also ballroom. I had to fulfill a young wolf to fulfill fraternal debt and become a couple with my sister.
However, and then the boy did not show a zeal in the development of Tango, Waltz, Pasodobl and other classic styles. The attitude changed later, when a 10-year-old Sasha at competitions in Kung Fu suffered a crushing defeat, and literally a few days later he took a prize room on the dance festival, practically without preparing for him.
In one interview, Alexander shared that the love of dancing did not appear thanks to a certain style: the spirit of rivalry is observed here, who reigned in ballroom dancing. And if at first the boy went to classes, because it was necessary, then then I sincerely loved what it was doing.
The next few years of wolves with his head plunges into the world of ball dance and, by the age of 13, it clearly and unequivocally develops in terms of their countrymen. We had to start a young dancer to study at the nearest major city - Cheboksary, but also there for the year there is a local level of the local school, and in the final of any competitions began to be considered as something of granted.
Then Alexander Volkov moved to Nizhny Novgorod - one, without parents, although at that time the guy was only 14 years old. By the way, it is in Nizhny Novgorod that the young man begins to attend the thought of changing the style. He is trying in parallel to engage in jazz modern, but ballroom dancing does not throw and at 15 years old becomes a candidate for the master of sports in this kind.
The next stage on the path of Volkova becomes the capital of Russia. There he is not only developing as a dancer, but also opens the first one's own studio, where he acts as a teacher and choreographer. In Moscow, Alexander decides to receive and higher education.
True, at the insistence of parents, does not choose a choreographic university at all, and the Mathematical Faculty of Pedagogical University named after V. I. Lenin. But there was a young man there only one semester, after which, successfully passing the session, throws an education forever.
Dancing
After the wolves gives standards on the masters of sports, it leaves ballroom dancing and has been engaged in gaining popularity with the style of Contemporary for a while, and soon creates his own unique direction of fusion. This style Alexander has constructed with the help of symbiosis of Contempe, modern and elements of oriental martial arts.
Moreover, the dance must be demonstrated to the powerful sound of heavy music, mainly in the style of Industrial. Another essential fusion attribute are causing even frightening dancer images.
To promote a new direction and teach him those who want, Alexander Volkov in 2006 opens a new studio of the TE-Kari dance studio in several cities of Russia, including in St. Petersburg, where he moved to a permanent place of residence. And in order for the fusion to find out as many people as possible, Alexander goes to conquer dance telecoms.

He promised to judges and television viewers, which would return in a year, and did not deceive expectations.
In the 5th season "Dance everything" Alexander managed to overcome all additional contests and got into the coveted 20 best dancers of Ukraine. Partner Volkova became the dancer Alisa Zaitsev. It is not known whether the blind lot has distributed so blindly, or someone specially put them in a couple, but the famous choreographer Rada Poklitar called the formed duet "Well, wait."

In this project, he failed to repeat the Ukrainian success, as wolves stopped in a step from the final. Nevertheless, he again managed to conquer the multimillion audience of viewers.
After the show, the man is the first thing for a long time "hung" in the hall. Without training and rehearsals of his style, the technique made himself felt. According to the dancer, Fusion today develops and modernizes.
Of all the cars made on the show show, the solo supplied to them. The choreographer considers this room strong. But the week before the ether was "hellish": the young man took a lot of responsibilities. And from the rooms with partners an athlete allocated a dance with foam.
Once, when writing a direct ether, a curious case took place: during the execution, Sasha flew a wig. When a man came running behind the scenes to change clothes and to be submitted, overhead hair remained lying on stage. And the directors were important for the guy to be with them, and high (height 186 cm, weight 74 kg), a prominent young man was sent to the scene behind the wig. And when Sasha returned, everyone looked at him with wild eyes. It turns out that at that moment Layisan Urty Scene spoke on stage, and at this time Alexander Volkov in search of "hair" crawled on the back background. Later, by mounting the dancer, removed from the frame.
