Georgian Dancers

We attended a performance in the Palace of the Republic of a Folk Dancing group from Georgia.

The lobby of the theater is huge and beautiful with all kinds of lights.

They had a display of tractors that are made in Belarus. I was wishing I could bring them home for our grandsons to play with--just the right size.




Before the show started, every chair was full. There is also three layers of balcony seats.

Their precision was unbelievable.

You wouldn't believe the moves he made balancing a bottle on his head.

Look at that toe action. He would jump in the air and land on the tips of his toes--several times in a row. They would move in a circle, on their knees, and throw knives into the floor. They would jump way in the air and land on their kness spinning.

The costumes were beautiful with several complete costume changes. We had seats on the 5th row, with a perfect view of the show. We were so close we saw the sparks when the men where doing their dance with swords and shields. One reason we like our apartment is the location. We are only 3 bus stops from this theater and also the ballet theater, which makes it very handy to attend these great cultural events.
