My trip to Saint Petersburg, Russia was very special thanks to my great sponsor, Oksana Peslyak of Sirin Tribe. She and her crew were all very professional, incredibly sweet and took well care of me. I think I am very spoiled now!!
They took me to an amazing city tour with a professional guide, I had a special private lesson on how to drink vodka properly with the ladies of Sirin Tribe, a little after party in a white limousine with my favorite champagne, and one of the best high lights was Romeo and Juliet at Mariinsky Theater with the top principal dancer, Diana Vishneva!!!!
Of course whole event Oksana organized was fantastic. Defiantly American Tribal Style Belly Dance is alive and prospering here in Russia. All of my workshops were filled with enthusiastic and fast learners. They had tons of great questions and I had great time exploring them and answering to them all!
All the performers at the show were gorgeous. I truly enjoyed watching them having fun on the stage!
