On August 2-6, the tenth festival «Uralsky Khorovod» («Ural round dance») was held in the kin’s settlement «Raduzhnie Kurorty» («Rainbow Resorts»). It was the most crowded festival in terms of the number of participants compared to the previous ones: more than 450 registered guests, and many came not for the entire duration of the festival, but for several hours or one day. Despite the fact that this is such a mass event, the feedback from the participants often repeats an important impression: the festival turned out to be cozy, friendly, and hospitable in a family way!
The festival program included numerous master classes, trainings, health practices, concerts, a fair, a lot of communication, and, of course, round dances! “A round dance, khorovod, is not only a ritual where everyone stands in a circle with other people, holds hands, looks into their eyes, opens a piece of their soul, and shares energy, but also a symbol of the unification of masters, crafts, peoples.” - the organizers of the festival explain, “A round dance is like lace, it weaves each participant and opens his heart and soul to accept the new. Everyone find something here for themselves. Someone open up through dance and music, someone - through craft, someone - through communication with Nature, and for someone it is the most important to communicate with people, kind and sincere“.

«Uralsky Khorovod» is, first of all, a round dance of settlements consisting of kin’s domains, where one after another the settlements stand in a common circle, uniting people and showing a bright image of the future. And this is a real Miracle: warm hugs, a kind sparkle in the eyes, sincerity in communication, a lot of reflection... For the sake of these discoveries — oneself in one's Destiny — such a festival is created. And also for meeting with friends, when you don’t want to part your hands, and tears well up in your eyes from the upcoming farewell...
«I love our festivals for the depth and soulfulness in space. We are not chasing a large number of participants and “fashionable” masters, it is much more important that we feel each other as one big friendly family,» says one of the regular participants of the festival.
