    An artistic director is chosen for each celebration who creates the theme and the story to be told with the performance. Every celebration is assigned a specific theme that is symbolic to the time we live in and to what society is coping with. The production of the Dance Celebration follows this theme and narrates a story via dancing. The theme of the 2019 celebration is \u201cMy Fatherland is My Love\u201d.<\/p>\n

    The main choreographer is\u00a0Vaike Rajaste<\/p>\n
