A graduate of the Moscow Academic Choreographic College, Lantratov was selected as a first soloist with the Moscow Stanislavski Ballet.    With the theater he danced principal roles in such ballets as Don Quixote, Copellia and Romeo and Juliet.  He has received accolades in the Russian and international press for his strong technique, personality and expressiveness.  

In 1993, Lantratov began working for the Kremlin Ballet.  This same year, he formed the Russian National Ballet Foundation.  He has toured as a solo guest artist in such countries as Japan, Germany, Italy, Greece, France, Portugal, Spain and the United States.  The Russian National Ballet Foundation has toured in Europe, Asia, The Middle East and the United States.

In 1997, Russian president Boris Yeltsin named Valery Lantratov “ People’s Artist of Russia,” the Russian Federation’s highest artistic honor.  Mr. Lantratov holds a teaching certificate Russia’s renowned National Academy of Theatrical Arts- GITIS.*  For three years, Mr. Lantratov served as a guest instructor at the Boston Ballet.

With his Russian National Ballet Foundation, Lantratov is able to realize his goal of introducing new audiences throughout the world to some of the finest classical works of Russia.  “No matter what might happen between the countries in the world, dance can deliver peace, compassion and art—eternal values.”

*GITIS’ ballet department was founded in 1946 under A. Gorsky, R. Zakharov and Leonid Lavaovsky of the Bolshoi Ballet with equal state funding to the Bolshoi. It is the only institute in Russia to offer a diploma in choreography and direction for ballet theatre.  Its distinguished ballet masters include Vladimir Vassiliev (director of the Bolshoi, retired), Nadja Pavlova (prima ballerina absoluta of the Bolshoi, retired) and Katirina Maximova (prima ballerina absoluta of the Bolshoi, retired).

Zumba at Golden Steps

Here’s what people are saying about Zumba at Golden Steps:

“I was hesitant at first about Zumba. At the ripe age of 41, I cringed at the thought of attempting to exercise/dance in a room full of people I didn’t know AND in front of great big mirrors, yikes! During my first class, the first song, I quickly realized no one was looking at me and I certainly wasn’t looking in the mirror, everyone was watching the instructor, whew! I remember leaving that first class thinking I would never learn the moves. Boy was I wrong! After just a few classes, I felt comfortable with the moves and began to focus on the exercise aspect like keeping your core tight.” -Connie H.

“Zumba at Golden Steps is like a ‘girls night out’…with sweat!!  I had no idea a workout could be so much fun, yet produce amazing results!!  It is so good for my mind, body and spirit!” -Noelle L.

“I rearrange my schedule to try to make it to EVERY class. I don’t make excuses not to go because I enjoy it SO much!! I never thought I would smile so much while working out so hard, and you should see my hip action now!! LOL!”  -Kim R.
