“Contemporary dance academy Star Dance E&I”
Two months ago, I was in the same place — searching, hesitating, trying to make the right choice. I wanted to give my daughters a gift, something truly special. Out of hundreds of competitions, we chose Fiestalonia — and we’ve never regretted it.
I’m a father of four. My two daughters (ages 13 and 9) have been studying music since they were 5. My older daughter plays the saxophone and three other instruments. The younger one plays the piano. They don’t just play music — they live it. They’ve won many competitions, but this time, I wanted to give them more than a diploma — I wanted to give them an experience.
We live in Ukraine. For the past three years, most of their schooling has taken place in bomb shelters. The children are emotionally exhausted. That’s why I decided to find something meaningful — something that would give them joy, hope, and a dream to hold onto.
The Grand Prize for participation in the World Art Games enabled my daughter Natalia to participate free of charge with accommodation and full board in the International Sea Sun Festival Competition in Lloret de Mar, Spain.
Thank you #fiestalonia for an unforgettable event. The opportunity to perform on the Spanish stage was an extraordinary experience for Natalia and an appreciation of her tremendous work. Thank you to Fiestalonia Milenio for the opportunity for Natalia to participate in the Sea Sun Festival International Competition, which included talents from all over the world. We thank the international jury for their insightful evaluation of Natalia’s performance. First Prize at the Sea Sun Festival gave her confidence in her own abilities.
We participated at art and piano contests. International jury professionals.
