Kazakh National Academy of Choreography is the first higher education institution offering the complete professional choreography training program in Central Asia. The educational complex includes the Academy of Ballet with a Studio Theatre and 21 rehearsal halls of 100 to 400 m2, a regular school and the Institute of Choreography, halls of residence, a hotel, and the Ballet Theatre. The functions of the complex are encompassed in separate volumes stretched along the boulevard axis and interlinked via a system of heated galleries. The small scale of the building acts as counterpoint to the grandeur of the kilometers-long esplanade, which leads from Baiterek to EXPO-2018. Colonnades are the leading motif of the whole spatial concept. Slim snow-white columns frame the buildings and courtyards, forming porticos and galleries. The key element of the complex—the Ballet Theatre—alludes to two references: the unique geometry and ornaments of Oriental architecture are blended with classical colonnades and a portico covering the square in front of the main entrance. The auditorium seats 800 and is structured as a tiered ‘theatre of boxes.
