Between June 23 and 25, the 18th “Anastas Petrov” National Meeting of Young Ballet Performers was held at the “Yordan Yovkov” Drama Theatre in Dobrich, under the patronage of the Mayor of Dobrich Municipality, Mr. Yordan Yordanov. It is also organized by the “Varna International Ballet Competition” Foundation, with the assistance of the Ministry of Culture, Dobrich Municipality, and the “Yordan Yovkov” Drama Theatre. The event is included in the Program of Measures for the Protection of Children with Outstanding Gifts for 2017.
The winners who grabbed the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd “Anastas Petrov” awards in Group “B” (up to 18 years of age) received a one-year scholarship from the Ministry of Culture.
This year, 40 contestants took part—3 from the Senior age group and 37 from the Junior age group—competing in two age categories: senior (from 20 to 26 years) and junior (from 14 to 19 years).
The competition was held in two competitive rounds: compulsory classical choreography, and for those who advanced past the 1st round—classical and contemporary choreography.
Dimitar Hristov, the photographer who has gained worldwide recognition with his unique art photographs, surprised his admirers. On his personal blog, the photographer published shots that take us behind the scenes of this beautiful dance competition. Witness the preparation and feel the emotions that remained hidden from the audience, before and during the competition.
