In 2021, the famous children's ensemble "Fidgets" is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Elena Pingjoyan became its founder and artistic director. Almost not a single concert in the 1990s was complete without performances by this group, and in 2009 the legendary Pierre Cardin created a children's collection especially for Fidgets. And today there are many very talented children in the team, and at one time he gave a start in life to many domestic celebrities.
Sergey Lazarev
He got into the ensemble in 1995 thanks to a shop assistant who introduced the boy to her daughter, Yulia Komleva, who was already studying at Fidgets. Despite the fact that he dreamed of becoming a member of the children's team, the girl had to literally bring Seryozha Lazarev by the hand to the leader.
He was incredibly shy, and after that the other guys, pushing him into the office, kept the door outside so that Sergei would not run away. Elena Pindjoyan, hearing Sergei sing and seeing how he moves, immediately took him to the team. He was very shy and shy, but the other members of the team very quickly accepted and fell in love with Seryozha, he became the real soul of the children's company.
Vlad Topalov
Vlad Topalov got into "Fidgets" thanks to his grandmother, who brought his five-year-old grandson to the audition, barely seeing the recruitment ad on the doors of the creative house. He looked like a pink-cheeked baby doll, and even incredibly embarrassed and blushed. Yulia Malinovskaya immediately took patronage over the baby, declaring Vlad "her little man."
He was very serious about his studies and in any situation remained calm, even when a shoe fell on his head during a performance, falling off the foot of another dancing participant. The boys worked out the number to the end, and not a single muscle trembled on their faces.
Anastasia Zadorozhnaya
The girl showed incredible persistence in order to get into the children's team. She saw the performance of "Fidget" at the New Year's party and immediately went backstage to find a leader. Despite the fact that Elena Pingjoyan was busy, 11-year-old Nastya did not leave until the manager agreed to listen to her. She was taken on probation, and soon transferred to the main team. According to the memoirs of the actress, in "Fidgets" she had to go through a serious school of life. There she fell in love not with anyone, but with Seryozha Lazarev himself, so other girls, sensing a competitor in her, tormented and pestered Nastya in every possible way.
She cried, suffered, but did not give up her studies or her childhood crush. Thanks to Fidgets, Nastya Zadorozhnaya made her film debut in 2001, starring in the series Simple Truths. The producer of the project turned to the head of the ensemble for help when he was looking for new actors for filming, and then chose Nastya Zadorozhnaya from all the participants.
Yulia Volkova
She came to the casting in "Fidgets" and with her clear voice instantly conquered the teachers of the collective, who accepted Julia into the ensemble without hesitation. At first she did not particularly stand out in the team, but after a trip to Artek, the children fell in love with the new one and even told the head about how cool she was.
Julia Volkova, who grew up as a rather sickly child, always had a supply of medicines with her and, moreover, loved to treat everyone. Smeared green knees, gave out aspirin for headaches and activated charcoal from the stomach. Naturally, she quickly gained fame as Medunitsa. And also - the main stylist and makeup artist of the girl's part of the team. She did hairstyles, pick up outfits and put on makeup for everyone.
Lena Katina
Father, Sergey Katin, composer, sound engineer and songwriter of the Dune group asked about listening to his daughter Elena Pidzhoyan. 12-year-old Lena, red-haired and freckled, captivated the head with an unusual timbre of voice and some incredible adulthood.
Lena Katina managed, entering an established team, not to quarrel with anyone. She simply did not react to the ridicule of the old-timers and treated everything that happened with a philosophical calmness.
Yulia Malinovskaya
This girl became famous back in the 1990s. For six years Yulia Malinovskaya hosted the "Morning Star" program together with Yuri Nikolaev, and was, of course, a leader in the team. Bright, perky, uninhibited, she attracted attention and was not at all embarrassed, being in the center of a crowd of thousands.
Unfortunately, she stopped leading the "Morning Star" when she grew up, since according to the idea of the authors of the program, the co-host of Yuri Nikolaev was to be a little girl. After graduating from Fidget, Julia did not pursue her career, but preferred her family. She married basketball player Yaroslav Korolev, who plays in the United States, moved with him to Los Angeles and devoted herself to raising children.
Pupils of "Fidget" Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina subsequently created their own group "Tatu", which 20 years ago made a splash not only in our country, but also abroad. Two teenage girls succeeded in something that even their eminent colleagues did not learn - they conquered Europe and America, surpassing even famous world stars in album sales. What was the reason for the breakup of the group and how did the fate of the performers develop after the Tatu project ceased to exist?
