The Respect My Talent festival will gather talented dancers from different regions of the country to compete for the title of the best. The skill of the participants will be evaluated by a panel of judges, which includes foreign stars from the dance industry. Guests can also look forward to workshops, an outdoor music stage, and entertainment. The festival, which started in 2009 as battles "for the locals" in the dance industry, is now one of the largest dance events in Russia. This year, the festival will take place over three days, with dancers of various ages, styles, and skill levels gathering at the oldest sports complex in the capital - "Krylya Sovetov". On the first day of the competition, auditions will be held among hip-hop dancers in different age groups, with the top 16 competing in spectacular final battles on the second day for the title of champion. The jury includes star dancers and choreographers from different countries: Salah and Rabah from France, one of the strongest dancers from Germany, Ukay, and a popping dancer from South Korea, Jaygee. On Saturday and Sunday, festival guests will have the opportunity to attend workshops from all the foreign judges, as well as invited experts: German hip-hop dancer Franky Dee and Korean popping master Dandy. On Saturday, September 20, there will be an afterparty featuring sets from trendy Russian DJs. Tickets can be purchased on the official website.
