FESTIVAL GUEST:
MELLI SARINA
🇩🇪 GERMANY
Melli Sarina is a bright representative of the modern dance direction tribal, who fell in love with the world of dance from an early age. She started dancing at the age of 9 and immediately fell in love with belly dancing. Since the age of 14, she has been dancing different types of belly dance and finally found her calling in Tribal Fusion thanks to her teacher and her first workshop with Sharon Kihara. This became a turning point in her dance career, and since then she has strived to pass on her inspiration to her students.
Her biggest influence was the amazing lessons she received at the Tribal Massive training program in Las Vegas. There she had the opportunity to study for 49 hours with some of the world's best dancers, such as Zoe Jakes, Mira Betz, Kami Liddle, Sharon Kihara, Jill Parker, and Lady Fred.
With all these different teachers, she developed her dance style with an emphasis on precise and sharp movements, as well as fluidity through muscle control and isolation. She also focuses on training in her classes to find all the necessary muscles to isolate or combine into smooth dance sequences. She wants to give her students a guide for their daily practice to improve their dance technique.
6 HOUR INTENSIVE STUDY WITH MELLI
"Liquid Fusion"
Discover your flexible self with me and expand your dance repertoire and capabilities!
This intensive is designed for all levels and will be an ideal opportunity for deep self-discovery and creative expression.
On the first day we will work on identifying the most important transition points in the body and explore different types of waves in combination with body isolation. This will help you establish a harmonious interaction between movement and sensation, laying a solid foundation of knowledge at the intermediate level.
This foundation will be enhanced on the second day with new connection points, different concepts applied to your body and fusion dance technique. We will also work on expanding the boundaries of your body and mind and connecting techniques to create a unique sense of flow and freedom in each movement.
The class is suitable for any level of dancer, regardless of experience in dance styles.
FOR ALL ATS / FCBD LOVERS

3 HOUR TECHNICAL ATS INTENSIVE WITH OLGA
"ELEMENTARY"
Metaphor through elements in dance technique is a wonderful way to connect with the organic world and understand the physical essence inside and outside of us. It is a deep work from the toes to the heart. This intensive rediscovers technical features in our movements, explores new possibilities of your skills and makes your ATS improvisation more contrasting!
We will explore the four natural elements: Earth, Water, Air and Fire, which in dance technique act as powerful sources of inspiration and expression:
-
GROUND: ground textures, gravity, floor work, balance and muscular strength.
-
WATER: transitions, fluidity, mobility and flexibility of the spine
-
AIR: light textures, grace, speed control, turns, musicality of movement.
-
FIRE: accents and details, amplitude control, sharpness, contrast, artistry.
Join us in this exciting exploration to become more mindful of your practice by exploring how each element impacts our individual approach and develops skill in technique!
SHOWS
Dear participants of the dance festival!
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your support and enthusiasm for our event. We appreciate every contribution and desire to create great moments on stage.
However, it is important to note that in order for the festival to be a success, we need your support in purchasing master classes. This is critical, as without it we will not be able to cover the organizational costs. These events require SIGNIFICANT resources and efforts to organize, and unfortunately, we cannot provide them with full funding only through free performances. If everyone performs for free, then, alas, our festival will not be able to continue in the future, and such events in Almaty will be at risk.
This year, we tried to create a program that will be interesting and varied, so that everyone can find something for themselves. We understand that sometimes additional budget is required, but it is thanks to your support that we can continue to hold such events and develop the dance community in our city! By purchasing tickets for master classes, you not only support the festival, but also invest in your own education and development.
Therefore, we draw your attention to the rules for participation in concerts:
-
Only solo performers who purchase master classes can perform at concerts.
-
If a group performs, at least 70% of the participants must undergo training.
Such measures are necessary to ensure the QUALITY and sustainability of our festival.
We express our deep gratitude to the teachers who bring their groups to the festival and motivate them to gain knowledge! Together we can make Almaty a center of dance art!
With gratitude, Olga Meos and the ALA FEST team.
This year you can expect two amazing concert programs,
different from each other in content and atmosphere.
THERE IS NO APPLICATION FORM VIA THE WEBSITE !
If you have been with us for more than a year, then you know that filling the main responsible Gala concert is only by personal requests and discussion with the organizer: http://t.me/olgameos
Participants with confident performance experience are welcome to the gala concert.
Dear soloists! Approach your numbers responsibly. To hear backstage "I didn't have time to do anything, I'll improvise" is at least unprofessional. Leave light and easy numbers and improvisations for our party. There will be an appropriate atmosphere for this. This is a stage, a theater and 100 people in the audience, wanting to be inspired by the art of dance!
Plan, write, we are waiting for your numbers!
Are you ready to celebrate the finale of our unforgettable festival? We invite you to a unique dance party where hearts will light up and true dance talents will be revealed! Don't miss the chance to finish the festival on high emotions and bright rhythms! Come with friends, recharge your batteries and give free rein to your dance inspiration!
