DanceHub.kz website turned 1 year old
On July 1, 2025, the founder of the website, Ruslan Vladimirovich Kenzikeev, went on vacation, and that day became the starting point for creating this platform. He had been nurturing the idea of creating something new for almost 12 years, and since his last project was the Sky Dance collective, he didn’t plan on moving away from his usual dance concept. The initial idea for the website revolved around consolidation.
the country's choreographic community on a single online platform. Work kicked off almost immediately, articles were being written, and the design and layout of the future portal were being developed. The first profiles and posts started appearing by the end of the month. In August, the trio of Ruslan, Yan, and Azamat decided that the website could be launched officially. That's how the idea of presenting the site at the Astana Ballet building came about.
It's very exciting, but at the same time beautiful. The signing of the memorandum of understanding and cooperation with the Kazakh National Academy of Choreography was the first step in implementing the conceptual goals of DanceHub.kz. Over time, the site began covering many cultural events from the world of choreography, thereby attracting the attention of the community. Gradually, the sections published on the site also expanded:
dance groups, event hosts, musical bands, and photographers — today their total number already reaches 100 creative profiles. The site dancehub.kz has become a digital event agency and an online reviewer of the city's cultural life; articles, recommendations, and reviews are the most popular part of the current content. The team gradually grew as well, with new members joining the collective
Marketers and event managers. Gradually, client requests also increased, and the website, acting as an event organizer, began to carve out its place in the landscape of the capital's event industry. In May 2026, the site dancehub.kz established an award for the most in-demand artists according to search engines. This way, many artists were able to gain recognition from the online audience thanks to visits to our site.
Based on the results of the year, the website's performance showed that information consumers and clients are still interested in getting detailed information and extensive portfolios through a full-fledged portal, rather than social media pages. In its next year, dancehub.kz is moving forward with clearly defined plans and promising goals.
1 июля 2025 года, основатель сайта Руслан Владимирович Кензикеев вышел в отпуск, и тот день стал отправным в создании данной платформы. Он вынашивал идею о создании чего-то нового почти 12 лет, так как крайним проектом Руслана был коллектив Sky Dance, то отходить от привычной концепции танцев он не планировал. Первоначальная задумка в создании сайта, вращалась вокруг консолидации хореографического сообщества страны на одной онлайн площадке. Работа закипела почти сразу, писались статьи, разрабатывался дизайн и компоновка будущего портала. Первые анкеты и публикации начали появляться уже в конце месяца. В августе тогда ещё трио из Руслана, Яна и Азамата, пришли к решению что сайт можно уже запускать официально.
Так родилась идея презентации сайта в здании Астана Балет, было очень волнительно, но вместе с тем и красиво. Заключение меморандума о взаимопонимании и сотрудничестве с Казахской национальной академией хореографии явилось первой ступенью в реализации концептуальных задач DanceHub.kz. Со временем, сайт начал освещать многие культурные события из мира хореографии и тем самым привлёк внимание сообщества. Постепенно расширялись и публикуемые разделы сайта: танцевальные коллективы, ведущие мероприятий, музыкальные коллективы и фотографы, их общая численность на сегодня уже достигает 100 творческих профайлов.
Сайт dancehub.kz стал цифровым ивент агентством и онлайн обозревателем культурной жизни столицы, статьи, рекомендации и обзоры — это наиболее популярная часть нынешнего контента. Постепенно увеличивалась и команда, в коллектив добавились маркетологи и ивент менеджеры. Постепенно увеличились и заявки от клиентов, сайт выступая организатором мероприятий, стал занимать своё место на ландшафте столичной ивент индустрии.
В мае 2026 года, сайт dancehub.kz учредил премию в области наиболее востребованных артистов по версии поисковых систем. Так, многие артисты смогли получить признание онлайн аудитории благодаря посещениям нашего сайта. По итогам годовой деятельности, работа сайта показала-потребителям информации и клиентам по-прежнему интересно получать детализированную информацию и обширные портфолио в режиме полноценного портала, а не страницы из социальных сетей.

Japanese Delegation Concludes Visit to the Kazakh National Academy of Choreography
The Kazakh National Academy of Choreography has concluded an intensive programme for a delegation from Tokyo's Yoshiko Takagi Ballet School. Twenty-two students and four teachers travelled to Astana to explore Kazakhstan's approach to choreographic education, work with the Academy's leading teachers and exchange professional experience. The Japanese guests followed a focused educational programme. Young dancers took part in masterclasses in classical and folk-stage dance and worked on classical variations drawn from the world's ballet repertoire. Each class offered more than technical practice. It also allowed the students to view familiar elements through a different teaching tradition. For young artists, this kind of exchange broadens their professional outlook and encourages closer attention to every detail of stagecraft.
Show-Stopping Performers for Your New Year Corporate Party
New Year comes only once, so a corporate celebration should become an occasion colleagues remember fondly long after the final song. It is more than a festive dinner. It is an opportunity to thank the team, strengthen company culture and bring the business year to an elegant close. The quality of the evening also says a great deal about the company, especially when partners, senior leaders, public figures or international guests are attending. The programme should feel dynamic, appropriate and professionally paced. Performers should not appear as a random sequence of acts, but as an integral part of the event's story. We have selected three musical projects that can set the right tempo for a New Year corporate party and turn key moments of the evening into memorable stage events.
Organising New Year Corporate Events in Astana.
A successful New Year corporate event begins long before December. Large companies often start planning in August, when HR managers research the market, compare suppliers and define the first requirements for the evening. Beginning early gives the team the freedom to choose rather than settle for whatever remains available at the end of the season. It is possible to source a venue, host, performers, decorators and technical crew independently, but doing so requires considerable time and experience. Companies therefore often entrust the project to a professional event agency responsible not only for suppliers but also for the overall logic of the occasion. An event agency is more than an intermediary between a client and performers. It acts as project coordinator, script team, venue administrator and crisis manager on the day itself.
Tips from the DanceHub.kz Organizers
This issue is most often noticed by event hosts and planners. During a Kazakh wedding celebration, the hosting family rarely has time to focus on small details. They need to welcome guests, coordinate with the restaurant, check the programme and solve dozens of urgent problems. Yet one small oversight can spoil the first impression of the entire celebration. We are talking about the welcome buffet for guests. It is usually a beautifully arranged line of tables with light appetisers, drinks and fruit. Sometimes it includes a chocolate fountain, both as a decorative feature and a treat. Everything looks immaculate to the first guests who arrive at the appointed time: fresh table settings, neatly arranged food and the anticipation of a special evening.
