A man doesn’t learn to understand anything unless he loves it.

Birth of a new little star

Nine-year-old dancer from Shymkent conquers medal podiums of international tournaments and contests adding prestigious awards to her collection.

Straight-A pupil, Medina Uteyeva, studies at school in the 3rd form. From an early age the girl loved to dance in front of the TV, was a child full of play, and having noticed such fancy for dancing, Medina’s parents send het to dance without the slightest hesitation.

In 2013 Medina came to Rhythm Dance Center to take classes in competitive ballroom dancing. Mr. Rail Shaukatovich Faizullin, the head and organizer of the Dance Centre, which threw its doors open for over 200 young dancers, believes that the earlier a child begins to dance, the greater success he or she will achieve.

- In the course of work and study, a child gets a chance to show up at various venues and events: concerts, festivals. Our Centre works according to the approved program of classical, Kazakh, folk stage dance and modern ballroom dance, – told the choreographer to our correspondent.

But dancing in front of the TV and organized classes are completely different things. And far from every child can practice dancing in a training room submitted to the discipline, persevered in their exercises without missing classes. But our heroine is an amazingly hard-working child. And her disposition helps her: ability to persevere through challenges, scale new heights and be the best will invariably lead to success.

- I’m happy to work with a professional teacher and choreographer Rail Shaukatovich Faizullin. He is a high class professional and a caring person: he has the right words for each of us that motivate and inspire for hard daily work, – said Medina.

For girls, choreography is not only a wonderful way to develop a musical ear, movement coordination, flexibility, but also the opportunity to become more self-confident, artistic and open. Mastering exercises, dance movements, elements of parterre gymnastics develops muscular sense, agility, precision in movement, plasticity; teaches to be a hardy, strong person, forms correct posture and nice gait; develops spatial thinking.
