GoDance celebrates the electrifying Festival of Dance and Cheerleading in Luzhniki, featuring Todes, Artyom Glotov, and "Dances on TNT" stars.
Moscow's iconic Luzhniki Olympic Complex was ablaze with energy and rhythm on August 15, 2026, as it hosted the highly anticipated Festival of Dance and Cheerleading. This vibrant event transformed the Southern Sports Center into an open-air dance floor, drawing enthusiasts and spectators alike for a day filled with breathtaking performances, engaging masterclasses, and spirited competitions.
The festival, a highlight of Moscow's summer calendar, showcased an impressive lineup that truly set the stage on fire. Headlining the stellar cast were the legendary Todes ballet, whose dynamic and innovative choreography captivated the audience. Known for their unique fusion of classical ballet, hip-hop, and other contemporary styles, Todes delivered a performance that underscored their global reputation for excellence and artistic brilliance.
Adding to the star power was acclaimed choreographer Artyom Glotov, whose distinct vision and creative flair were on full display. His presence, alongside the talented ART FORCE studio, brought a fresh perspective and high-octane routines to the festival. Fans of the hit television show "Dances on TNT" were also treated to electrifying performances by some of its most memorable participants, demonstrating the incredible talent nurtured by the popular project.
Beyond the main stage, the festival offered a diverse program designed to engage every attendee. From intense cheerleading and dance competitions across various styles—including sports, modern, and street dance—to accessible open lessons and workshops, there was something for everyone. Enthusiasts had the chance to hone their skills in dance and stretching, explore an acrobatic track, and even get creative with masterclasses on pompom making, costume customization, and dance makeup.
A truly unifying moment arrived with the massive group dance led by Anna Nemchenko, inviting everyone to join in the collective celebration of movement. The day culminated in a spectacular concert by Niletto, whose performance provided a fittingly energetic close to an unforgettable festival.
