First-year students were initiated at the Kazakh National Academy!

For most universities, initiation into students is a mandatory ritual that all first-year students will take a place. In some universities, this event is timed to coincide with the beginning of the academic year and is held directly on September 1, the day of knowledge. In others, the freshman is given a little time to get used to his new place and the initiation is postponed. So at the Kazakh National Academy of Choreography, dedication is traditionally held in November.

Alila Alisheva, the Director of Educational Work and Social Development,   delivered a welcoming speech. In her speech, she noted that every child upon entering the academy is a rough diamond that our teachers have to turn into a diamond. There is a lot of new information ahead of the children, which will need to be converted into knowledge and skills. It is worth noting that the teaching staff of the university consists of highly qualified specialists in this field who will help unleash the creative potential of each applicant.

This year, 53 students entered the departments of choreography and arts. The bachelor’s degree includes 6 specialties, these are art management, art history, pedagogy of sports ballroom dance, pedagogy of choreographic art, pedagogy of choreographic art double-diploma education and choreographer’s art.

Aitolkyn Turginbaeva, Dean of the Faculty of Choreography shared:

To enter the choreography department, students need appropriate education, professionalism and, of course, desire and discipline, which are the key to success in our field. If schools produce professional performers, then we, as a university, produce teachers and choreographers.

Raihan Doszhan, Dean of the Faculty of Arts:

Every year the number of people wishing to join our faculty increases. For example, in the art management specialty there are large competitions, with more than 5 applicants for one place. Today’s first-year students managed to go through two stages of selection, which proves their desire to achieve success in this direction.

It all continued with a traditional concert with creative performances.
