Eurovision Young Dancers 2013 coming soon: Armenia represented by Vahagn Margaryan

YEREVAN, MAY 31, ARMENPRESS: The preparatory works of the Eurovision Young Dancers 2013 to be held on June 14 in Gdansk, Poland, have nearly been completed. As Armenpress was reported by the Executive Supervisor of the Contest Vladislav Yakovlev, he was quite contented by the preparatory works carried out in Poland.

In February Vladislav Yakovlev was present at the Armenian final of the Eurovision Young Dancers 2013. At the Contest to be held in Gdansk, Armenia will be represented by the 17-year-old Vahagn Margaryan, who has already started to rehearse his dance in the Yerevan State Dance College. For that reason the soloist from the Royal Swedish Ballet Arsen Mehrabyan was invited to choreograph a dance for Gdansk.

The main reason to invite an international specialist is due to the decision of performing modern ballet dance, as the specialists in Armenia are more concentrated on classical rather than modern ballet.

ARM TV decided to invite Arsen Mehrabyan who took time form his busy schedule to help Vahagn. Arsen Mehrabyan has participated in various dance contests, winning various prizes for his performances. He won the first prize in the dance contest held in Hamburg in 2003. He was also awarded to “The audience's sympathy” in the “Nagua” contest held in Japan.

Referring to Vahagn, Arsen Mehrabyan mentioned that Vahagn had big potential and he possessed good dancing technique. Vahagn Margaryan was impressed with the dance Arsen helped construct, and promised that he will do his best to win the contest for Armenia.

According to the Contest Charter, the performance of each representative will last one and a half minute. The participants will perform a group dance as well, choreographed by the local specialist. The finalists will pass also improvise round, so that the members of the jury could evaluate their ability to quickly orient and perform in different styles.

Armenia participates in the Eurovision Young Dancers 2013 for the first time. The international authoritative contest was first held in 1985 in Italy. It was organized once in two years.
