Vanush Khanamiryan, great master of dance, will celebrate his 80th birthday this year. “I was only 63 when they said you cannot dance any more and appointed another person as the head of State Assembly of Dance,’ Khanamiryan told a press conference today, saying this dance group was his “second home.” Khanamiryan directed the group for 25 years.

Khanamiryan said Friendship Dance Assemble will stage a concert at Opera House on November 7 to the honor of his 80th birthday. He said one of his students, Samuel Nazaryan, will also organize a concert in Marcel.
