"Dobrynina Radmila is famous dancer and great teacher. She trained me and I took parted festival of belly dance and I was Loser.
I cried all day because I didn't get a prize and I said I'll never dance. Belly dance is not my hobby. But my teacher believed me and trained me very hard.
Sometime later I did it again and got 2nd, 3rd places and finally 1st place in Kazakhstan. I was happy'', said Yekaterina.
Now she runs classes and teacher training through her school. She has her own dance school "Intizar".
