At the initiative of the Ministry of Diaspora of the Republic of Armenia, the dance studio of the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra hosted the open lesson and year-end concert of the Syrian-Armenian children’s dance groups established by the National Aesthetic Center after H. Igityan.

Established in September 2017, the dance groups comprise 25 Syrian-Armenian children in three age groups. The dance instructors are Adrine Shirinyan, Lusine Sopachyan and Ashot Ohanyan.

During the event, the Syrian-Armenian children showed the first moves that they had learned, and a dance number was performed at the end of each lesson. The representatives of the dance studio also gave a short New Year’s concert.

At the end, Director of the Philharmonic’s National Aesthetic Center Gagik Avetisyan performed a dance with the students of the studio.
