 In 1987, under the guidance of the great aerial-act creator, [[Piotr Maenstrenko]], at the [[Circus Studio]] in Moscow, Vladimir began developing his own act. It was originally a combination of Russian Barre and flying act, which used intricate equipment. Although the act would later be brought to fruition by the [[Borsovi]], Vladimir chose not to pursue it, preferring instead to develop two separate acts out of one: a Russian Barre act and a flying act, which used catchers on upright cradles.
-The Egorov troupe, with Vladimir and his brother Yury as the main catchers, and Maksim Dobrovitsky and [[Regina Dobrovitskaya]] as the principal flyers, debuted at Moscow’s [[Bolshoi Circus]] in July 1988. Both of the troupe's acts were technically and artistically outstanding, and they soon embarked on a prosperous international career, touring with various units of the [[Moscow Circus]]. They also appeared in Sweden with [[Cirkus Scott]] and in Germany with [[Franz Althoff Jr|Franzi Althoff]]. The flying act evolved over the years; at its height (so to speak), it incorporated three catchers and four flyers.

 The Egorovs’ flying act made its American debut at the [[Big Apple Circus]] in 1992; it would remain with the circus until 1996. In 1995, they performed a simplified version of their Russian Barre act, featuring [[Regina Dobrovitskaya]]. The troupe dissolved the following season. Regina Dobrovitskaya and Vladimir Egorov remained with the Big Apple Circus, Regina as a member of its resident company, Vladimir as coach and Assistant Performance Director.

 The Egorov troupe participated in the [[International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo]] in 1999 with their original Russian Barre act, during which Maksim Dobrovitsky became the first acrobat ever to complete a quadruple somersault on the Barre. The troupe was awarded the Journalist Association award and the TV Monte-Carlo award.
-In 1995, Vladimir Egorov was made National Artist of the Russian Federation. He retired from the ring in 2003, settling in the United States. His wife, Nadezhda Petrovna (born Voronina on October 25, 1954) was a competition gymnast before working with the Volzhanski troupe and in the aerial act of Nadezhda Belenko. Nadezhda and Vladimir have two daughters, Elena and Svetlana, who have left the circus. [[Elena Egorova]] performed, for a time, a hula-hoop act.
