“By order of the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov, a children's art school is currently being built in the capital of South Ossetia, where all the conditions for choreography classes will be created. The grand opening of the facility will take place next year, which will undoubtedly be a major event in the cultural life of our Republic,” the press service of the Ministry of Culture quotes her as saying.

As the acting director of the State “Simd” Vadim Sanakoev told the agency “Res”, the concert on the stage of the Vainakh Dance Palace was a sell-out.

The guys left all their strength on the stage. "We presented an hour-long program," Sanakoev has noted.
According to him, the concert ended brightly with a joint performance of the song "The Shores of Russia" by two choirs from South Ossetia and Chechnya.

Joint performances will continue. This year, another Chechen group will also come to visit us," the agency's interlocutor has noted.
