This experienced troupe is well known to Korean people as it took part in the April Spring Friendship Art Festival several times.

The troupe, made up of dance stars, won gold, silver and team prizes at the past festivals.

The troupe prepared "Friendship Dance" and other numbers for the current festival.

Kasyanov Oleg Evgeniyevich, head of the troupe, told KCNA:

"We are very pleased to attend the 28th April Spring Friendship Art Festival.

The performance given by Korean artistes at the festival opening ceremony was wonderful. It will remain long in my memory. It is my view that such performance should be shown to many people throughout the world.

I wish all artistes good success at the festival for celebrating the significant Day of the Sun.

We are striving to show admirable performance to the Korean people."
