ANOTHER WORLD
ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER ERA
THE FIFTH DIMENSION,
an enchanted place in a universe now distant and mysterious for us, where everything began.
Humans at that time dwelt on the earth along with extraordinary creatures:
with them, they shared all the knowledge and practiced the Sacred Magic in various forms.
But how did that come about? It is said that, at the beginning of the First Era of the Ancient World, the MASTERS created the Light that spreaded throughout the universe as an echo of their pure and uncontaminated souls.
From the beginning of time, the Masters protected the LIGHT, because it is able to connect and give life to all the creatures of the Fifth Dimension. They realized too late that their action had consequences that no one could escape from:
There is no Good without Evil, There is no Light without Shadow.

PERFORMANCE
PROJECTS
A Performance Project is an immersive dance experience that combines training, creativity, and live performance. It’s more than just learning choreography—it’s a journey that takes you from initial preparation to a fully realized stage performance, creating unforgettable memories along the way.
How It Works:
-
PRE-FESTIVAL PREPARATION
Depending on the teacher’s approach, participants may receive choreography or technique material in advance via video. This allows dancers to familiarize themselves with movements at their own pace. For some projects, no pre-learned material is required, focusing instead on group interaction and improvisation. -
IN-PERSON REHEARSALS
During the festival, dancers come together to refine and polish the project under the guidance of the teacher. These sessions emphasize teamwork, creativity, and attention to detail, creating a vibrant and collaborative atmosphere. -
THE STAGE PERFORMANCE
The culmination of the project is a live performance during the Fifth Dimension Dance Festival’s Gala Show, on Friday September 5th. It’s a moment of collective magic, fueled by the passion of participants and the expertise of the instructor.
SUPPORT AND ORGANIZATION
-
Communication: Dedicated Telegram chats are set up for each project to facilitate updates, questions, and mutual support among participants. Recommendations for makeup and styling are also provided by the teacher.
-
Costumes: Costumes are pre-prepared by The Fifth Dimension Team and by Olga Meos (regarding her performance projects) for a fee of €60 per costume, to be paid in advance before May 2026. We'll ask you to fill a form in order to collect your measurements via Telegram chat.
WHY PARTICIPATE?
By joining a Performance Project, you’ll gain more than just training—you’ll create art under the mentorship of world-class instructors, form connections with fellow dancers, and experience the thrill of performing on stage. Each project is an opportunity to grow, connect, and bring something truly magical to life.
Choose one or two projects (classes timing permitting - check the schedule) between Olga Meos, Valenteena Ianni, Ethel Anima & Tjarda Van Straten. Valenteena's Projects (called Karma Experiment) training is happening on August 29-30-31 and September 1 so it won't overlap any other project.
These projects embody the very essence of the magic that defines the Fifth Dimension Dance Festival!
