MASTER CLASSES FOR ANY STYLE
FOCUS
October 11 12:30-14:30 / 2 hours
On stage, everything is fiction, and all this reality is a product of our imagination and fantasy. Imagination becomes a true ally of the artist, creating an authentic and believable life on stage. Every movement, every step should be imbued with an inner meaning, and not perceived only as a mechanical gesture. This makes each performance unique and profound.
Focus in dance is not only the direction of the gaze, but also a much more comprehensive concept, uniting the mental and physical aspects of performance, where the importance of the connection between the mind and body is emphasized, creating a single composition.
METAPHOR
October 12 11:00-13:00 / 2 hours
Metaphor is a figurative expression, a hidden comparison based on the similarity of concepts or
phenomena. «Metaphor in Dance» is a unique dance class that focuses on using metaphorical concepts and imagery to express emotion and create a deep dance narrative. In this class, dancers will explore the
possibilities of dance as an artistic language capable of conveying abstract ideas and emotions through
symbols and metaphors. The Metaphor in Dance class is an exciting and inspiring experience that will help dancers discover
their potential in creating deep and emotional dance storytelling through the use of metaphorical
language.
SHOWS
This year you can expect two amazing concert programs,
different from each other in content and atmosphere.
We invite you to the Tribal PRO Gala Concert! ✨
We are now opening a call for participants to take part in our grand stage event!
The concert invites dancers with confident stage performance experience , as well as soloists preparing unusual, dramatic solo numbers that are ideal for the stage.
To participate, you must submit an application, indicating information about your experience and number.
ORGANIZERS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CONTACT DANCERS TO CLARIFY DETAILS BEFORE FINALLY CONFIRMING THE PERFORMANCE.
Show your skills, surprise the audience and become part of the unforgettable ALA FEST Gala Concert!
Tribal PRO team celebrates the festival finale and its birthday in one unforgettable atmosphere! You will find a combination of energy, dancing and celebration - the brightest dance numbers from the team members and guests, live performances, incredible atmosphere and delicious treats.
We are waiting for the most striking numbers from the groups!
Spend this evening with us, get inspired by the art of tribal, enjoy the music and dance, and celebrate with TRIBAL PRO another year of creativity and love for dance!
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your support and enthusiasm for our event! 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 recoup the costs of organizing. These events require SIGNIFICANT resources and effort to organize, and unfortunately we cannot fully fund them through free performances alone. If everyone performs for free, then, unfortunately, our festival will not be able to continue in the future, and such events will be at risk.
This year we have tried to create a training program that is interesting and varied, so that everyone can find something for themselves. We understand that sometimes additional budget is required, but thanks to your support that we can continue to hold events like this and develop the dance community! By purchasing tickets to 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 shows:
-
Only solo performers who purchase master classes can perform on shows.
-
If group is performing, at least 70% of the participants must purchase the classes.
Such rules 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 us to gain knowledge!
With gratitude, Olga Meos and the Tribal PRO team.
WAITING FOR YOU!
