Every day, hundreds of people use our website. Thanks to the availability of our publications in three languages — Kazakh, English, and Russian — the website’s articles, profiles, and news continue to attract stable interest from users in Kazakhstan and neighboring countries, and sometimes even from more distant parts of the world. Website inquiries regularly come from Turkey, India, and Germany, while articles and creative profiles are also read in English.
According to the results of the past summer, the article “The History of the Kamajai Dance” continues to hold the top position, with more than 10 views in English alone. The “Gulder” dance ensemble has maintained a strong interest among dancehub.kz visitors since the very beginning of its appearance on the website. The interview with Anvara Aripovna Sadykova is also among the top three most sought-after publications on the website.
The dance community of Kazakhstan also closely follows our website’s special reports, in which we cover cultural events in the capital and beyond, particularly those related to various areas of dance. Our correspondents have attended the most notable concerts, performances, and competitions held in Astana.
At the same time, our website contains a large amount of equally interesting information from the event industry of Astana and Kazakhstan. More than 100 profiles of popular and highly sought-after artists, advice from event organizers, and client reviews — all this useful information is also available to our audience around the clock.
For example, this summer, clients most frequently viewed the profiles of hosts such as Anuar Abdraimov, Bakhtiyar Aryngazin, Rustam Karkoshev, and Ramazan Dzhalbirov. According to our portal, all of these showmen belong to the category of highly sought-after hosts.
At the same time, new profiles of artists and festive services continue to be published on the website. Soon, for example, an extensive section dedicated to organizing team-building events in Astana and the region will become available.
A large number of new artists will be added, along with effective and useful recommendations for organizing New Year corporate parties.
Today, dancehub.kz is not simply a digital event agency. It is rather a specialized media platform with ambitious plans for further development and active work in the interests of its readers.

The wedding podcast is quickly finding its place in contemporary celebration programmes. The format began gaining attention in Kazakhstan at the end of summer, while the quieter autumn season gave organisers time to refine the idea for the year ahead. The DanceHub.kz team has already tested it twice and is ready to explain how it works. The podcast corner works best near the entrance to the banquet hall, close to the photo zone and welcome buffet. Recording inside the hall is more difficult: equipment is being checked, lighting and sound are being adjusted, and the service team is completing its final preparations. It is simply too noisy for a relaxed conversation. A small table, three microphones and a neat backdrop are enough to create the studio. Guests arrive, take commemorative photographs, enjoy the buffet and are then invited to record a short story about the newlyweds.

In the first part of our organiser's advice, we explained why a wedding welcome buffet deserves careful attention. Its appearance and presentation shape the first impression of the evening. Now it is time to consider the final touch: the tradition known as Keter Ayaq or Zhol Ayaq. This small ritual takes place at the end of the celebration. Sometimes it uses the same table that held the welcome buffet earlier in the evening. In an alcohol-free celebration, the tradition can be reinterpreted while preserving its most important purpose: seeing guests off with warmth, care and hospitality. The bride has thrown her bouquet, the band has taken the stage, and the second dance interval reflects the newlyweds' own musical taste. The first interval may have featured familiar favourites for the parents' friends and older guests, while the later programme becomes younger and more energetic.

Imagine being invited to a wedding and asked to buy a ticket for 20,000-25,000 tenge. The price includes your seat, the menu, drinks, a host and live entertainment. There is just one surprising detail: you know neither the people at your table nor the names of the newlyweds. The bride and groom may not have met before the evening either. This is the idea behind “NOT a Wedding”, a themed party already appearing in selected cities across Europe and the CIS. From the outside, it looks like a real celebration, complete with a welcome buffet, decorations, dinner, toasts and dancing. Its purpose, however, is not marriage. It is designed for conversation, new connections and an unusual cultural experience. Modern city life offers too few natural and comfortable ways for adults to meet. Social media helps people stay connected, but it cannot always replace a face-to-face conversation. “NOT a Wedding” provides a familiar structure in which strangers can introduce themselves, exchange experiences and spend an evening together without the awkwardness of formal networking.

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.

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.
