The event is a great chance for lovers of belly dancing to share their
experiences through workshops and enjoy performances by a number of well-known
belly dancers, including Aleksei Riaboshapka from Ukraine, Nari Heo from the
Republic of Korea, Nana Nazakawa from Japan, Gulden Fatkulla from Kazakhstan
and Summer Deng from China.
They are regarded as belly dance masters, capable of spreading knowledge about
their performance skills and inspiring their trainees.
Riaboshapka is a well-known performer and a recognised choreographer of belly
dance and oriental folkloric styles. Belly dance communities and festivals of
almost thirty countries welcomed his art and passion for oriental dance. He is
a leading teacher and judge of the League of Belly Dance Masters in Russia. In
his home country, he created his own unique dance company RA-Studio whose
students are taught by professionals. Many of them are winners of prestigious
contests worldwide. Alekei’s workshops are known to be interesting, creative
and fun. His talent, choreographic originality and bright personality have touched
many dancers.
"I am very happy to share my skills and soul to help dancers and see the belly
dance community grow,” he said.
"This is the second time we have organised an international belly dance
festival,” said dancer Ha Van, head of the organising board.
"We have tried to bring world masters to introduce them to Vietnamese belly
dancing as well as create the chance for domestic artists to exchange and find
inspiration.”
