An open international festival “JAM’S 20th ANNIVERSARY” dedicated to the 20th anniversary of Jam Dance Studio was held at S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University.

The event was organized by Jam Modern Dance Studio and the student philharmonic of S. Toraighyrov PSU. 

“The festival was a real challenge for its participants and at the same time a jolt of fresh dance air. Hip-hop is grounded on the tenets of peace, unity, love and positive. It is important to propagate these notions among dancers and provide facilities for them so that they could use their time profitably. In November 1995, I gathered the initial lineup of Jam. At first, it was somewhat of a hobby for me, but later it became my profession and lifetime project. Jam has made great achievements and it still aims for the sky,” said Rulat.

The following categories were presented at the international festival: B-boying, House dance, Hip-hop (among professional dancers and beginners). 

“A dance represents the language of a body, the flush of a soul, feelings and emotions. People from different ethnic groups and of different ages and social classes may communicate with the help of body movements, despite conditions of their life,” said the director of the student philharmonic of S. Toraighyrov PSU Ainur Azimkhan.
