He graduated from an aviation technical school and an economic institute, created a unique Sevastopol dance theater, which has no analogues anywhere in the world. Dances were always present in his life, as Nina Marsheva was always present in it. True, then they still did not know: a series of almost mystical coincidences in their lives for a reason. It will take many years before their parallel straight lines intersect to become one line of life. And one dance for two.

Dance like destiny

Vadim Elizarova was brought into the choreographic collective by her grandmother, who tried to introduce her grandson to beauty. This is not to say that he immediately fell in love with the dance. A six-year-old student often wanted to sit at home, but needed to get ready and go to dance classes. The turning point in his attitude to choreography was the moment when he was praised after playing the tiny role of a mouse in The Nutcracker. The praise inspired him, and the realization came: this is what he would like to do all his life.

He studied classical dance and folk-stage dance, and then came a passion for ballroom dancing, which determined his whole destiny. Whatever he did: he studied at the aviation technical school at the request of his father, then at the economic institute at the insistence of his mother, he worked as a mechanic, engineer, laboratory assistant, economist - he always danced. And then he organized his own ballroom dance school and never tried to do anything else again.

Coincidences

With Nina Marsheva, they seemed to always walk along the same road. Only 5 years apart. He was born on June 12, 1949, and she was on the same day, but in 1954. He entered the first grade, and five years later Nina began to study at the same school and even with the same class teacher. They came to one dance group with a difference of 5 years.

After Vadim Elizarov organized his own dance school, she became his student, then the leading soloist of his ensemble. When Vadim Albertovich's partner got married and went on maternity leave, Nina took her place.

They rehearsed together and tried to prove that ballroom dancing has every right to exist. They took part in numerous competitions and became members of the Soviet Union national team.

During a ballroom dancing competition in Donetsk, a couple Vadim Elizarov - Nina Marsheva met with the head of the team from Sevastopol. The girl was going on maternity leave and asked eminent dancers to work out in the summer with her pupils. They agreed, and a year later they were invited to Sevastopol for permanent work.

Vadim Elizarov, who once seriously dreamed of the sea, agreed. Nina, of course, supported him. It was in Sevastopol that they became husband and wife.

Dance of happiness

For Vadim Elizarov, this was the second marriage. In the first, the relationship with his wife did not work out, but two children were born: twins Denis and Diana. Having moved to Sevastopol, Vadim Albertovich took the children with him.

So Nina Marsheva immediately became not only a wife, but also a mother of two seven-year-old children. But she was not afraid of difficulties. She loved Vadim Elizarov and was confident in her abilities. The children immediately became attached to Nina, only for a long time they could not understand how to call their father's wife, because they already had a mother. And Diana and Denis came up with an affectionate name for her, they began to call her Masyusei. When the son of Vadim Elizarov and Nina Marsheva, Alexander, was born in 1981, he began to call her the same as his older brother and sister.

Vadim Elizarov and Nina Marsheva continued to dance, and the judges and colleagues on the dance floor noted that the quickstep and tango performed by this couple were simply inimitable. They had fire, passion, love. Everything is just like in life.

All life is a theater …

The creation of the Sevastopol Dance Theater became the work of Vadim Albertovich's whole life. His whole family works and dances here today. It was in the theater that Diana and Denis found their personal happiness, now Vadim Elizarov's grandchildren go to classes here.

The legendary dancer and theater director himself did not get tired of talking about the fact that his family always supported him in everything. He was an excellent leader and educator. He treated all his students as his own children.

They lived together for 40 years, never having time to get bored with each other. Vadim Albertovich never forgot to make pleasant surprises for his wife, and under her photos on social networks he proudly wrote: "This is my Nina!" She considered herself a woman dedicated to her husband, but at the same time she had no idea how much and where to pay for a communal apartment.

On the morning of that fateful day, when Vadim Albertovich died, she saw a car passing by him and dialed him to hear his voice. He once again confessed his love to her and left.

On the evening of May 28, 2017, while participating in the celebrations dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the theater. Lavrenev, Vadim Elizarov felt bad. He was not going to stay for the banquet and, congratulating the theater staff, said that he would not be there in the evening. And he just was gone.

An ambulance pronounced the death of the founder of the dance theater. The wife believes that the reason for this was the litigation for the premises of the Palace of Pioneers, which the theater had rented for many years. Vadim Elizarov was only 66 years old.

The dance became fate not only for Vadim Elizarov and his entire large family. found each other thanks to ballet.
