Armenian Dance Festival held in Buenos Aires

The Argentine-Armenian school Jrimian of Lanus, Buenos Aires, held last week a new edition of the annual Armenian Dance Festival, according to Prensa Armenia.

The festival attended by the local authorities, brought together more than a thousand guests to see two hundred students, teachers and parents danced traditional Armenian dances.

"That's what this school is all about: planting seeds, growing, tending and watering dreams, thinking resources so that children and young people can fulfill them and we, adults, will accompany them. This is a genuine collective construction," said the headmistress of JrimianSandra Raubian in her speech.

The Argentine-Armenian school Jrimian is an educational institution founded in 1930 by Armenian refugees. It offers an "Armenian education for everybody", transmitting inclusive and human rights values through the Armenian culture.
