The ensemble will bring some of their popular dance pieces created by the ensemble's founder, the outstanding 20th-century Russian choreographer, Igor Moiseyev.

Founded in 1937 by Moiseyev, who created a legacy of over 300 choreographic works including the famous Guerrillas, Gopak, Summer, and Aragon Jota, the ensemble has toured extensively.

Moiseyev died in 2007 at the age of 101. However, his passing did not end the life of the ensemble. Since it opened its professional dance training school in 1943, a younger generation dancers now carries on the Moiseyev legacy and continue to tour worldwide.
