First-ever rehabilitation center for ballet dancers opens in Kazakhstan
The first-ever rehabilitation center unveiled in Kazakhstan to help ballet dancers and technical staff recover from exercise stress and traumas, Kazinform News Agency learnt from the Culture and Information Ministry’s press service.
Each theatrical performance involves long rehearsals, physical exercises, and stress, which can result in professional traumas. To the present, ballet dancers have sought general treatment at clinics. Now the new rehabilitation center fitted with the latest equipment provides muscle recovery and pain relief treatments. Besides, a rehabilitation specialist will help artists return to full-time work faster.
The rehabilitation center is opened with the support of the Kazakh Culture and Information Ministry and Samruk Kazyna Fund.
It’s worth noting that Astana Opera’s first performance of The Nutcracker play ended up as a huge success on December 19. The troupe is to stage six more performances as part of its tour, with sold-out engagement expected.
Earlier it was reported that the Astana Opera Ballet and Symphony Orchestra are once again going on tour to Dubai to present Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker.
