Turkmen dance troupe wowed the audience at the Chinese Folk Dance Festival

A dance troupe from Turkmenistan captivated the audience with its rousing performance at the 6th China International Folk Dance Festival in Urumqi, Xinjiang, this week. The group gathered a full hall and received enthusiastic feedback from the audience for their rousing number demonstrating traditional Turkmen dance. This is reported by Orient.

The China International Folk Dance Festival aims to promote cultural exchange and diversity by bringing together folk dance groups from around the world. This year's festival features 60 dance groups representing countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. Around 1,000 renowned dancers take part in the festival, showcasing the sights and sounds of the world's dance traditions.

Xinjiang's proximity to Central Asia makes it a fitting venue for the festival, which will run through August 5. This diverse region has a long history of cultural interaction with its neighbors. By providing a platform for foreign performers, the festival helps strengthen ties and mutual understanding between China and other countries.

The success of the Turkmen troupe testifies to the excitement of meeting dancers from different countries and cultures. In the coming days, the festival will continue, and the audience is expected to see colorful performances representing the diversity of the world dance heritage.
