Choreographer Alena Shoptenko, who was dancing paired with Maxim Nelipa in the second season “Tatziv Zirki”, remembered the story on the parquet, which characterizes the TV presenter as a very responsible and selfless person. On the eve of one of the program issues, Maxim trained to exhaustion all night, and during a live broadcast from exhaustion for a few seconds lost consciousness.

“I remember one point well,” says Alena Shoptenko, “we danced Sambu, rehearsals continued all night. This is a very heavy dance, it is not easy for everyone, later even the participants called it " No one could quickly learn, he also did not give in to Max, so they rehearsed for so long. And, I think, he is pretty tired, but he did not show this. And when we went to the parquet, began to dance, felt weak, lost his balance, but came to his senses very quickly. However, we did not dance the number then "

“Unfortunately, after“ dancing with the stars ”we did not communicate so often,” Alena Choptenko continues, “but I well remember what he was during our joint work.

This is a positive person, he was an incredibly companion. Now I say " Man-Dusha. He was very invested in training. Not everything was given easily - and this is normal. But I was struck by what positive he was all the time, how simply reacted to the remarks of the jury. I’m not even remembering that I was seriously upset, I perceived everything with humor ”.
