XI Latvian School Youth Song and Dance Celebration – also Rezekne municipality

Thirty-eight scraps of linen shirts, thirty-eight posters, bright patterned skirts for girls, grey trousers, carefully painted, repaired, and stupid, sleeping in orderly lines on the benches of the class, so that soon, like a vicious bird, a wings and a second life between thousands of small dancers in a joint dance article. These People's suits belong to Jānis Kco's Sakstagala primary school two -- classes 1-3 and 4-6 - dance collectors who have won the right to participate IN THE XI Latvian School Youth Song and Dance Festival in Riga. They can be seen in the dance concert at the Daugava stadium, and, of course, on the big festival, behind the Rēzekne municipality.
The festival is poisoned together
Early in the morning, the little dancers are still rubbing their sleep from their eyes, but the teacher is already in command, “three, four!” and the dance “Good morning” begins. Their offspring is watched carefully by the “support group” – the parents of dancers who live actively with their small business and achievements. His mother, Alexander Petrova's mum, admits that it is not easy to post his son to the festival, but it is interesting. “We'll definitely look at their television.” 'My heart is trembling about yours, daughter Ilze drives for the first time, i'm afraid to hold the big load,' says Nadezda. Ilya's mum Alain and Santa's dad Mikhail admit that the song festival parents have a great deal of experience, but it is a great pleasure that the child dances.
The chemistry office is now turning into a People's gown storehouse, and a teacher Rasma Pudule, who has taken a third week to ironing the People's clothes, still has to admit it, stitch a button.
“We're all together on the festival,” – says Sylvia Freiberga, head of the school. She speaks to both teachers and children of children who are very responsive – both bring children to an attempt, Ada wool stockings dancers, help them get all the necessary to make children feel good in festivals.
“Big” dancers in the courtroom are examples of wool stockings. “I like dancing, dancing for three years.” Does Momma make? “No, i'm going,” says Imants. His favorite dance is “Rupjmascukul's”, which is particularly energetic, while Yuri prefers to “shine the sun,” with lighter footsteps. All the dancers in the chorus confirm that they are not afraid of the early rise or the late concerts in the evenings, the difficulties they are willing to bear as a real spark! What has dancing been given? The gunita likes to go to concerts, Karina believes that dancing gives energy, but Cynthia is courage.
“Children who take part in self-action are really different, they're more organized, they can get dressed, be on stage, smile when they don't want to, they have more sense of responsibility, autonomy.” Dancing gives you a good story, a sense of rhythm, teaches you with pride to carry a People's suit, a pastel. It also gives the feeling of its own and national patriotism, ”says Sylvia Freiberga.
For the dance leader Anita Cercenai, these would be the sixth festival, in two of which she participated as a member, but in four as a collective manager. “The little attempts will not be in the day, only in the morning and in the evenings when it is not so hot.” The dances are not hard, the articles are beautiful, the main thing to be happy and happy.

Rezekne municipality – festival articles
As the Minister of Education of Rezekne informed Aija Dundure, the Rēzekne municipality will represent more than three hundred participants in the large festival -- 16 collectively, 6 folklore sets, 6 dance collectors, 2 choirs and 2 blower orchestra. The most enriched dancers and singers are Nautrēnu secondary school, where 3 collectively - 2 dance collections and folklore set are going to holidays, followed by J. Kco Sakstagala primary school, 1 dance collection is from Bērzgales primary school and Dricānu secondary schools. Small folklorists without Nautrēnu secondary schools are still from L. Rananes McKashan High School, Kaunatas secondary schools, elementary schools, Gaigalavas primary schools and Rikavas primary schools. The municipality will also be represented by two blower orchestra - Rēzekne municipality and Jānis Ivanova Rēzekne musical secondary school pub orchestra and Maltas youth blower orchestra “Vikords”. The choir movement in schools is not as popular as the dancers - only two choirs - Dricānu, Maltas High School and Kalnezeru Catholic Choice, and Ilzeskalna girls' chorus will participate in festivals from Rezekne municipality. They are the best of the best, as the selection was very strict, from collectors who took grade 1 in the selection, 170 collectively remained “behind the stripes”, including a number of counsellors who had also received Grade 1, but the number of points was less.
The festival participants from Rezekne municipality, as usual, at nights at Pouskin Castle, Sarkandaugava Street, which are not particularly far from Mežaparka. The subsistence costs of the song festival members are covered by public funding, but the contribution of the municipality of Rezekne to the fierce of their dancers and singers is also large. New people's suits were brought to all participants and collective leaders, new collective flags. The municipality finances the subsistence costs of the accompanying persons, the transport costs, the work of the medical officer, the costs of missions, the donations of all the members of the Rēzekne municipality in the flag of the flag of Rēzekne. A total of €25 000 was planned for this goal in the 2015 budget.
The dance collective and the blowing orchestra went to the festival for a day before - on the afternoon of July 6, due to an attempt to be made in early morning on 7 July. In the great festival, everyone will hear the special Rēzekne council, which Aija does not yet reveal - to be a surprise. The schedule of attempts and concerts is very tight, so we will wish our children the strength and luck, because, as Aija Dundure emphasizes, the song festival is not a holiday but a hard work. “It's just for the audience, but the participants remain delighted, pleased, and pride of their power to write dance and song articles!”
