The final of the All-Russian Street Culture Festival "All Styles Are Strong" took place at the RUSSIA EXPO
On July 5, the Exposition hosted the final of the Perm dance
festival "All Styles Are Strong". 16 best dancers from different
parts of the country met in the Cultural Projects Zone of Pavilion No. 75 to
determine the best of the best.
"All Styles Are Strong" is an annual all-Russian
dance festival, which for 16 years has been gathering enthusiastic dancers from
all over Russia in Perm.
The participants of the finals represented four directions:
breaking, hip-hop, housedance and vogue.
"The essence of today's event is to gather dancers and
make them compete in battles of different styles. It is very cool that there is a place and an
opportunity for dancers of absolutely different styles to compete with each
other with one single criterion by which the judges evaluated their
performances — musicality," said the creator and ideologist of the
festival "All Styles Are Strong" Andrei Vaskin.
Rashid Azzeddin (RASH) was recognized as the winner by the
jury's vote. He praised the organization of the festival and the RUSSIA EXPO as
a whole.
"I really liked the organization of the festival; it is
very important that our state supports dance events. If we talk about the
Exposition, I am very happy with what I saw here. When you come here, you see happy people and
how the country is developing — it's very cool," emphasized the winner of
the dance festival "All Styles Are Strong", dancer Rashid Azzeddin.
