 The Main Features of Dancing in the State Dance

Ensemble Altynay

 

Before formation of the Altynaiin 1985 Kazakhstan has no any own national dancing ensemble. Dances were performed in composition of other orchestras and ensembles. Creation of the ensemble of “Altynai” was the accessing to the professional scene ancient models of national dancing.

Choreographic composition “Bastauincludes dances such as “Sayis”. “Bakhsy oiyny”. “Zheztyrnak”, “Kylyshpan”. All of these dances were set in ancient kuii compositions. Dances “Kelinshek”, “Zhar-zhar”, “Koshtasu” are real traditional dances. They masterfully made using the ancient art of people. Staging of the dance “Bakhsy oiynyshows the dance-like movements of the ancient era and it enriches. Its repertoire with national creativity.  

Staging of the dance of D.Abirov “Utys bii” and the dance of O.Vsevolodskaya-Golushkevich “Buyn Bii” was equitable.

In the reconstruction of this dance was the great benefit that simple workers from the Narynkol district showed and thought elements of this dancing. They were not so young and they were invited by wellknown statesman O.Zhanibekov. This dance recorded on videotape and and transferred to the central archive. Finding out the ancient dances and reconstruct them is not an easy job. It like having to wash the mountainous sand to find a piece of gold. Sometimes one  can stumble upon a big gold ingot example for this is the Dances of well-known artist A.Ysmailov “Kusbegi-dauylpaz”,“Alkakotan, “Aikosak” were the real benefit for repertoire of the ensemble. 

Well-known bale master I.Moiseev who has dedicated his life to the promotion of folk dances said about his ensemble: “The first program of the ensemble shows the traditions among people. Our duty is the to develop those dances according to composition and complicate some kinds of dance movements”, he said (1). Direction of creativety of the dance ensemble “Altynai” also starts in developing and complicating some kinds of dance movements and trying to stage them in modern way.

They created artistic images in national stage dances using the folk information’s. But real ethnography couldn’t satisfy all demands of stage art. Whatever the type of art according to developing of folk, ethnography and national art not restricted. In step with the times, based on audience cultural and esthetic taste demanded from art collective great creativity researches and art collections. Thus, stage art is not simple copy of the national art, it comes from the creative alliance the people of art and it is special kinds of art.

That’s why, the first step is to hear the music of every dance and select them and at the end you should claim the type of stage clothes.

Opening of the meaning of dance which is performed, demand from dancers not only required components at the same time demand great investigations, hard working. Dancer especially decorates and varies his every wonderful dance movements. Dancer’s clear, accurate glorious movements leads the audience into raptures. Stage is as the X-ray beam, immediately determines dancer’s insincerity. Thus, the meaning of work of art is not only movement. It is the activity that creates according to the music and solution of dancer is working with understanding. To find out pristine, to develop Kazakh national dance on new way they completed their repertoire with new dancers.  It was the great discovery for young generation, because they don’t know all about colorful richness of national art dance.

Ancient traditions of Kazakh people hold their entertainments together with songs and poetry, that’s why new created theater to be closer to nation have to deal with the ancient life nation”,– said Ì.Auezov (2). A.Tazhibaev who investigate the history of Drama theater: “Drama folk poetry and ìåí traditional poetry and dramatic elements from epos were the wonderful basis for national theatre”,– (2). Traditional songs as “Zhar-zhar”, “Koshtasu”, “Betashartake place in the repertour of the ensemble and became the great model of national dancers. Gist of the ensemble and its creative work depends on the level of choreographers’ art. Understanding such kind of faithful work Philharmonic authorities allowed to introduce dances of well-known master of arts A.Ismailov, SH.Zhienkulova, D.Abdirovto to Its repertoire and it influenced to the development of  stage skills of art collective. Nowadays dances of Sh. Zhienkulova “Ayzhan kyz”, “Kazakh valsy”, works of A.Ismailov “Kusbegi- dauylpaz”, from D.Abdirov “Koshtasu”, “Altynai”, “Balbyraun”; O.Vsevolodskaya-Golushkevich “Kerbez”, “Kyiz basu” not only stay in the repertoire  of the ensemble they widely used in different study programs.

Two girls who had staged the “Ayzhan kyz” for the first time today honored actress of the Republic of  Kazakhstan Gaziza Abdieva, and the owner of the title “Madeniet Kairatkeri” Dana Murzabekova.

 These beautiful, fragile as reeds girls showed the peak of performance skills with their harmoniously movements.
