Russian dance troupe from Rostov-on-Don captivates audiences in Chennai

Russian Dance Festival 2026 draws full houses in Tamil Nadu, highlighting cultural dialogue between India and Russia

A Russian dance ensemble from Rostov-on-Don performed in Chennai as part of the Russian Dance Festival 2026, Trinity Mirror, a partner of TV BRICS, reports.

The festival is taking place in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and will run until 9 February 2026. The opening performance in Chennai attracted a large audience.

The festival was inaugurated by Valeriy Khodzhaev, Consul General of the Russian Federation in Chennai. Cultural and educational representatives from India and Russia attended the opening ceremony. The event is part of ongoing cultural exchanges between the two countries.

The 17-member ensemble presented a programme that included classical, folk and contemporary Russian dance. The repertoire featured Cossack dances, Lezginka from the Caucasus, Gypsy-themed choreography, classical waltzes to music by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, as well as contemporary compositions incorporating acrobatic elements. The programme concluded with a sequence based on Soviet-era songs.

After Chennai, the festival is scheduled to take place in Coimbatore, Mettupalayam, Vellore, and Sivakasi, expanding the geography of the tour within Tamil Nadu. The organisers note that the project aims to promote cultural interaction between India and Russia through performing arts.

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"

Vladimir Putin

President of the Russian Federation

"This forum, which has brought together leading representatives of the business communities of our country and the ASEAN member states in the hospitable capital of Tatarstan, Kazan, is of particular importance. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Russia–ASEAN relations. During this period, we have accumulated substantial experience in multifaceted cooperation, established strong ties, including between the Association’s Business Advisory Council and the Russia–ASEAN Business Council, and created a solid foundation for the future"

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar

India’s External Affairs Minister

"As Chair, I thank each delegation for their presence and continued commitment to strengthening cooperation within the BRICS framework. […] Development issues remain central. Many countries continue to face challenges on energy, food, fertiliser and health security, as well as access to finances. BRICS can help them respond more effectively. Economic resilience is also key. Reliable supply chains and diversified markets are its essential components. We must focus on both"
