Grieta Grīnbergs participated in the competition with a choreography specially designed for her by Elza Leiman Strings, which has already brought the artist the first place in the 5th International Baltic Ballet Competition in the summer.
“I am very happy to have the opportunity to take part in such a prestigious competition in spite of all the circumstances. It is fantastic that the organizers are ready to continue the competitions.
Grieta Grīnberga graduated from the Riga Ballet School, and since 2020 she has been an artist of the Latvian National Ballet. So far, the young ballet dancer has already achieved great success in the Grasa International Ballet Competition in France, the Stora Daldansen Competition in Sweden, and the Spoleto International Ballet Competition.
The South African International Ballet Competition has been taking place since 2008, and Latvian ballet dancers Elza Leimane, Annija Kopštāle, Kārlis Cīrulis and Raimonds Martinovs have won prizes. This year’s competition took place in a hybrid form from October to 23 – local dancers participated in person, but foreign ballet artists submitted video works.
