the dance group of the Amur State Medical Academy returned with a victory from the international Skills & Drills championship in Khabarovsk

Our team consisted of 22 people – first, third, fourth and fifth year students – and took third place in the "Open style" category.

The Skills & Drills International Dance Championship was held in the city House of Culture of the city of Khabarovsk. The championship brought together dancers from different cities of Russia and abroad, a total of 156 teams took part in the dance competition.

The judging team included the best dancers in Moscow: Kirill Zub, Artyom Sidorov, Daria Popova, Binnn, Andrey Dron, Dima Shchebet.

"This championship gave a big point of growth to our team, gave incredible emotions. FREEDOM is strength, power, energy, and we proved it with our performance. We are immensely glad that we were lucky enough to take part in such an event, because it is not only a dance, it is how we feel each other, the stage and what emotions we experience during the dance, how united we are with each other. Dancing, we create a single organism, one whole," said the head of the dance group, a student of group 419 Arina Nuzhnykh.

Diana Kasumova, a graduate of the Amur State Medical Academy, helped our children to stage a dance that won the hearts of the jury. After graduating from the medical academy, the girl entered residency in Moscow. According to the dancers, despite the distance, Diana always provides support and helps in the entire team, of which she herself was once a part.

"FREEDOM is a big family in which each member is loved and appreciated. It is thanks to our cohesion, hard work, perseverance, and desire to prove ourselves that we managed to make this seemingly impossible dream come true — to visit another city at the large-scale Skills & Drills championship. I am so glad that we got to the championship, saw top dancers not only from our country, but also from Korea, Malaysia, got acquainted with the work of other teams," Vladislav Didik, a member of the team, a student of group 406, shared his emotions from the trip.
