We recognize the value of having famous top international artists participate in the KDF festival. However, at this time, the security situation, the lack of air connections with Ukraine, long travel times, flight cancellations or delays, and many other factors unfortunately make their arrival (physical presence) impossible.
Nevertheless, we still want KDF participants to receive this important support and knowledge from foreign instructors, which is so valuable to all Ukrainians.
That is why we are introducing a new, unique format of collaboration with international artists — StarLight.

What is it about?
1. Renowned top instructors prepare an educational master class specifically for KDF participants.
They record a detailed video with explanations of all important elements, both to counts and to music, and send it to the organizers.
2. A well-known Ukrainian instructor or a couple receives this material, studies it thoroughly, and deliveres it to KDF participants during the festival itself.

What this provides:
• A connection with the international community and a demonstration of their support, which is extremely important in these times.
• Valuable educational material from world-famous top instructors — your favorite star artists!
• The entire masterclass will be delivered by Ukrainian artists, in the native language, which significantly improves comprehension.
• Unlike a simple recorded video, this format makes it possible to receive feedback and correct mistakes under the guidance of Ukrainian instructors — a guarantee of high-quality learning!
• Each participant will have access to the video material recorded by the international instructors after the festival, allowing them to review and practice it at home.

We express our immense gratitude to the foreign artists who agreed to this format and in doing so have shown incredible support for Ukraine!
And in return, we hope for mutual support from every Ukrainian dancer!
