Hello. Can I know a bit about this meeting in April and the head of NaNaOuz? We are an NGO still currently operating and a bit worried.

Dear authors of this blog: Nick and Ali,
I was searching about Uzbek dance and found your page. I am a dancer from San Francisco who has been studying and performing dance styles from Central Asia for the last 10 years. I returned from a dance residency in Tajikistan last summer and this summer I am looking to study dance in Tashkent, Uzbekistan this June (2008). Do you have any contacts or suggestions? Thank you. Also below is a video of my performance with Abbos:
