The guys were divided into teams and passed three stations: they pulled paper-cut figures, performed jazz-dance, and the freshmen repeated dance movements after them, played “Brook”. They played bottle tossing with fun and cheerfulness, and in the end, all together both foreign and Russian students sang karaoke. Divided into three teams, the freshmen passed through peculiar stations, danced jazz-dance, played “Brook”, bottle toss, and at the end all together sang karaoke.
