A cycle of creative meetings for leaders of foreign groups with Belarusian flavour was launched in Minsk. This year 30 specialists from Russia, Italy, the Baltic States and Kazakhstan took the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of stage and dance skills. The programme included master classes on children's folk choreography, traditional and medieval Belarusian dances. This is the 8th time the Art Intensive from the Republican Centre of National Cultures has been held in Belarus. Until November 16, the delegations will get acquainted with the history, art and colour of Belarusian cities. Apart from the capital, the guests will visit Lida, Soligorsk and Luban districts.
