A record-breaking mass
performance of the Kamazhai traditional folk dance took place in Astana, with
3,000 schoolgirls participating in a grand choreography flashmob. The unique
event was held in celebration of Nauryz. According to the organizers, such
vibrant and memorable actions aim to revive and showcase the power and beauty
of the Kazakh national dance art to the world, while also capturing the spirit
of the spring holiday.
«The goal of today’s
event was to promote the Kazakh national dance, particularly Kamazhai. You may
know that those who danced Kara Zhorga in China set a world record. We decided to
stage our own national dance, Kamazhai, which reflects the beauty and grace of
our girls. We practiced the movements for a month,» said Rakhat Tauyrzhan, director
of the Shashu folk ensemble.
«The preparation was
easy and didn’t pose any challenges for us. By participating in the flashmob,
we wanted to show the beauty of our Kazakh dance. And therefore, we took part
in the action with enthusiasm and joy,» shared flashmob participant Fariza
Arbulayeva.
The event also
featured a national costume show as part of the fifth day of the Nauryznama
decade. Guests had the opportunity to admire the beauty of traditional Kazakh
attire.
