TEAM POWER
"If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go with others."
African Proverb
"Teams make you better than you are and multiply your value,
allow you to do what you do best, allow
you help others do their best..."
John Calvin Maxwell
WHAT IS PERFORMANCE PROJECT?
THIS IS A COMPLETE TRAINING PROGRAM.
You are not only study and take the material for further development with your notes at home, but also show the result on stage, and so you work out every detail
here and now. And a little bit before festival to have bonus video material in advance. It is deeper, longer education process and unforgettably magical!
Thanks to these projects, under the guidance of masters specially invited to the festival with extensive experience, as well as the trust of the participants,
real Art is born on the stage.

Pre-filmed video training for participants.
Each teacher's approach may differ, but generally these are either pieces of choreography that need to be learned, or techniques that need to be practiced independently. In any case, at this stage we give each participant time to memorize and practice. We have different memorization speeds. This is why we give time to learn.
Some projects are held without pre-learned material using basic movements with an emphasis on rebuilding and general group interaction. Everything will depend on the authors. For example, in ATS/FCBD projects you don't need to learn in advance, but you do need to repeat the list of movements. In any case, there won't be many links and videos. And we won't overload you with material. We'll do most of it on the spot.
For those who had experience of performing on stage.
The level in projects is not that important, because it's primarily an EDUCATION process. The teacher will look at your attached links to the video to understand the level of the group, and will definitely divide the pieces of choreography according to complexity. However, it will be quite difficult to participate with zero stage experience. Therefore, our one and only criterion is that you have already performed in a group or solo before, on stage or at a party. For ATS/FCBD dancers it's the request to know basic movements, and of course your desire to learn new ones.

Clear deadlines.
All teachers will film and will get you material NOT LESS than a month before the festival. Before April 1st, all projects groups will receive the videos. We plan to distribute everything from March 15th. But definitely not later than April 1st.
Telegram members chat.
For communication with you, questions and any assistance in finding details, chats will be organized. You can put chats on silent mode, because nothing urgent happens there. But try to check for updates periodically. Also, if you suddenly cannot figure out with some of the movements from the videos, you can write a question to the teacher at any time. Or participants can help to each other.

Costume base and props - included in the price
and stay with you!
Now you don't need to worry about the cost of the costume. We will sew and organize costumes for everyone, which will remain with you. From the teacher you will only receive recommendations on makeup and hairstyle (not difficult! Since we participate in different projects), as well as additional things. For example, “any light bracelets” or “ring earrings” or “Flowers for the head for ATS” that every tribal dancer has, and if not, in the chat we can help each other with this and borrow it.
Your costume designer and seamstress - "FROM OLGA MEOS WITH LOVE 🖤"
These costumes then live for a long time in solo projects after the festival.
And author is really happy about it. =)
Measurements are taken in advance and in 99% of cases fit perfectly.
Come and create TOGETHER!
Goosebumps from the long-awaited meeting, and now we all gathered together in the dance room. We have a few hours to put everything together. At this stage, it is very important to LISTEN to the instructions of the curator and be creative open. Each of us, including the teacher, are very important puzzles of the project.
SHOW MUST GO ON!
This is of course a performance. A storm of emotions, unforgettable impressions, support from the entire team and of course from the teacher. We are already very experienced in staging, many have participated several times. So if you need help, ask! We will definitely respond!

PROJECTS FROM MASTERS
We won't reveal all our cards!
The images, idea and content of the project will remain behind the curtain. We want to surprise the viewer, without spoilers =) Therefore, you will find here an approximate style of the projects, so you can understand in which direction
you will develop. We tried to make the topics as diverse as possible.
After all, each project is the brainchild and manifestation of the teacher himself. We learn their strongest qualities from them.
Don't worry about the looks! Everyone at our festival is beautiful!
There will be plenty of reasons for selfies!
You can participate in one to THREE projects that not mixed in timing
to choose from according to the schedule. We will arrange the numbers at the concert
with a minimum 15-minute change break for everyone.
