BEST RUSSIAN DANCERS PROFILES :
Russian dance music has emerged late after the fall of the Iron Curtain, with the inflow of modern dance synthesizers and sophisticated sound mixing equipment - an area where USSR was trailing significantly behind the West. The import of new hardware defined the transition from VIAS - the Vocal-Instrumental-Ensembles - Soviet-era bands with specific sound defined by cheap electronics. These had been in effect replaced with more Western-sounding groups slowly gaining momentum circa 1990s.

The target audience of the new dance bands was the urban population of Russia, comprising most of the country population by 1991, when USSR was dissolved. However, due to then-blossoming period of "wild criminal capitalism", promotion and marketing of new venues was defined not by popularity or public demand, but rather through stand-alone projects funded and marketed by single individuals, capable of capital investments.

Russian dance scene is significant domination by female singers and girl-bands, performing sophisticated dance music. Thus, Russian dance relied a lot on vocals, and has distinct romantic tones, which makes is quite different from the more male oriented music of other parts of Europe. Since the beginning of 21st century, the aforementioned situation started changing due to the swift economic growth in Russia, fueled by growing oil prices, as well as the development of the music business infrastructure.
