This week’s LifeStyle interview subject, designer Masha Tsigal, has shown off her famous nighclubbing ways. However, here at LifeStyle we could never do such a thing. There just too much to do, what with acid-jazz-funk legends Groove Collective and Bernie Worrel coming to Moscow and clubs like Settebello opening their summer verandas. Dancing is definitely in LifeStyle’s blood!

Modern culture at Dom
The sixth international festival of modern culture commemorating Sergei Kuryokhin, SKIF, will take place in the Dom cultural center from now until April 30. All the events will begin at 7 p.m. The festival will feature musicians from many countries, including Eugene Chatborn from the United States, Peter Bretzman from Germany, K.K. Null from Japan, the Klezmer Band from Ukraine and many others. World-famous improviser Null attracted attention in 1981 when he set up a "progressive hardcore trio" called Zeni Geva. Null has performed in more than 300 live shows throughout the world. He has been invited to various international festivals, including Hyperstrings (Austria), What Is Music (Australia), Beyond Baroque (Los Angeles) and All Tomorrow's Parties (U.K.).


Clash of the basketball titans
Though street basketball is gaining popularity with every passing year, it still hasn't caught up with the real thing. A super-match between the NBA Legends Team and a team of top Russian basketball players is set up to prove once again that basketball rules. Fifteen NBA stars will be playing against 15 of Russia's best players in the CSKA Sports Palace on April 27. The American team will include Clyde Drexler, Mario Elie, George Gervin and Ennis Whatley, while fighting for the Russian colors will be Valdemaras Khomichyhus, Sergei Belov, Rimas Kurtinaitis, Alexander Volkov and other famous players.


Seduction by tango
On April 28 and April 30 at 7 p.m., the Kremlin Palace will be hosting a unique Argentine show, "Tango of Seduction," something that seems quite appropriate given the enormous popularity of tango in Russia these days. This will be a show that truly carries you away, sort of a simultaneous travel in space and time toward different cultures and their history and music. The show will feature classical tango, partially modernized by Astor Piazzolla, and a team of famous actors and actresses, including Antonio Soares, who performed in Brazil with the Tango Mia troupe and starred in the Carlos Saura film "Tango."
