To whet your appetite for Daimohk’s forthcoming tour (see dates, venues, prices and booking information here) we thought we would put up some links to Daimohk elsewhere on the web.

First of all is Jos De Putter’s 2002 film ‘Dans Grozny Dans’.  In Chechen with French subtitles.

‘Jos De Putter’s powerful documentary “Dans Grozny Dans”, follows Daimohk on their 2001 tour of Europe and their preparations among the devastation of Grozny. The film won Best Documentary at Chicago’s 2003 International Documentary Film Festival, and Best Film at the 2003 St Petersburg Film Festival.’

There is also a wonderful selection of highlights from the 2005 Tour from Videoreel on YouTube.

These are reviews from their 2004 tour.

‘Dancing in the Dark’ by Vanora Bennett, Times Online, 19th August 2004

Daimohk at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod, BBC Wales, 4th-9th June 2004

Here is also a lovely selection of photographs taken in the Netherlands by Eddie Van Wessel on a previous tour

Enjoy!

We’re thrilled to be able to announce the venues and dates for this year’s Daimohk Tour.  If you have not had the joy of seeing the Chechen Children’s Dance Ensemble before then please make an effort to come and see them – not only is the story and the spirit of these young dancers extraordinary, they really do shine in their own right as dancers worthy to take their place on the world stage.  For more information on the group please see our Daimohk page.
