On May 28, 2026, the Dancehub.kz Awards Ceremony was held in Astana as part of the Event Day 2026 program. The event honored representatives of choreography and performing arts whose professional achievements have earned recognition from audiences and the creative community.

One of the key highlights of the ceremony was the presentation of the “Master of the Stage” award to Anvara Sadykova, Senior Lecturer at the Academy. Her many years of creative work, outstanding professionalism, and contribution to the development of performing arts have served as an inspiration for generations of young directors, educators, and choreographers.

Another notable achievement was the victory of the Art International ensemble in the “Best Dance Company” category. The ensemble is led by Ulan Beisenbayev, a graduate of the Kazakh National Academy of Choreography. This accomplishment once again demonstrates the high demand for the Academy’s graduates within the professional creative industry.

The award was presented for the first time and was based on an analysis of profile visits, search queries, and other user activity metrics on the Dancehub.kz platform. The awards recognized artists and ensembles that generated the greatest audience interest throughout the year. According to the concept developed by the founder of the portal, Ruslan Kenzikeyev, Head of the Department of Pedagogy at the Kazakh National Academy of Choreography, the award became a well-deserved recognition of distinguished masters of choreography.

The achievements of Anvara Sadykova and Academy graduate Ulan Beisenbayev highlight the contribution of the Kazakh National Academy of Choreography to the development of national arts, the preservation of professional traditions, and the training of a new generation of creative professionals. Congratulations to all award recipients on their well-deserved honors!
