Dance school of Alla Dukhova “TODES” started work in Minsk

The world network of dance schools is now in Belarus. In Minsk, the first studio of Alla Dukhova “TODES” was opened. It's not just a dance school. It is a place where children learn to move, feel music and believe in themselves. There's a sold-out at the opening. The festival was attended by the founder herself.

Studio design, tailoring costumes, rehearsals - several months of preparation for this day to take place. And here she is – the long-awaited premiere. But behind the scenes, there's a lot of work. Costumes for the Minsk studio were created with special love. Here is the style of the legendary brand.

Minsk is the seventh point on the global brand map. The rumor spread instantly - and already queues for recording. My parents didn't think long. A month of training for the grand opening. Now is the time to see what the boys have learned. There are no more seats in the halls. Music to the maximum.

The network includes more than 130 schools. Now one of them is in our capital, a step from the Pushkinskaya metro station. Directions for any age and level requests: from classics, context to modern hip-hop and vog.

Elena Shestakova, director of TODES Studio: There are two children who are three years old, they are the youngest, but they are very integrated into our team, which is pleasing, because such children, as a rule, grow great talents and dancers. We take all children absolutely, because every child has the right to try themselves in the dance. The main purpose of the dance is to make the child happy.”.

Everyone has a chance not only to participate in brand festivals. But even get into the professional ballet of Alla Dukhova and go on a big stage.

Alla Dukhova, Soviet and Russian choreographer, founder and artistic director of the international ballet TODES: The teachers who came, our experienced, very talented girls, they will change here, because different styles will be taught, there will be different material. It's only a month, it's three classes a week, and you can see them dancing.

And even after the report in this room, no one feels tired. Talking to a world-class choreographer is a landmark event. Questions about careers, ideas, inspiration, ups and downs. Paying attention to everyone is an almost impossible task, but Alla Dukhova tried. This is just the beginning for the studio. The plans include new rooms, new destinations and, possibly, new names that will one day glorify the Belarusian TODES far beyond the country’s borders. Dance is a language that knows no boundaries.
