On July 14, Vitebsk /Olga Bogacheva - BELTA/. Youth Day will conclude the XX International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk", reports a BELTA correspondent. The day will open on July 14 with a press conference attended by leaders of the youth organization BRSM. Participants will discuss the day's events, its goals, and the most interesting activities. The longest and most vibrant of these will be the I International Youth Festival "Fire of Dance-2011" under the motto "Everyone Dances!", which will take place on Victory Square after the patriotic event "Thank You for Life!". Here, within the framework of the sports and entertainment project "Youth FEST", dance, sports, graffiti, break-dance, and beatbox zones will be set up. Young people will gladly demonstrate their skills and conduct master classes for everyone interested. The packed show will be accompanied by hourly prize draws. The award ceremony for the winners of the dance non-stop will take place in the evening, immediately followed by a new creative competition – a DJ music battle, which will last until late at night. Popular DJs and the best hosts of youth format from various regions of Belarus will compete for the title of the best. The guest of the last "Star Hour" at the current forum will be composer, director, and public figure Pavel Slobodkin. Also on this day, a minor intrigue of "Slavianski Bazaar" will be resolved: the names of the winners of the children's music competition "Vitebsk-2011" will be announced at the gala concert "Wonderland". Renat Ibragimov will perform with the program "Only the Best" at the Regional Philharmonic, and a literary evening "Captive of the Author" by Alexander Filippenko will be held at the Yakub Kolas Theatre. Valery Meladze will delight his loyal fans with a solo concert in the Summer Amphitheatre, and in the evening, the bright closing concert of the festival will again gather spectators here. On stage will be Laima Vaikule, Elena Vaenga, Tamara Gverdtsiteli, Larisa Dolina, winners of the adult and children's pop song contests, contemporary choreography theatres "D.O.Z.SK.I" (Belarus) and "Kyiv-Modern-Ballet", as well as other groups and performers. The echoes of the anniversary forum will be heard in the Summer Amphitheatre in the following days: on July 15, concerts by Lyubov Uspenskaya and stars of "Shanson-TV" will take place here, and on July 16, Avraam Russo will have a solo concert. -0-
