Traditionally, the competition is dedicated to the French ballet dancer, theorist and creator of ballet reforms, who went down in history as the "father of modern dance" Jean-Georges Noverre. The holiday is celebrated all over the world and is dedicated to all styles of this art.

At the XVII International Choreographic Competition, the artists of the Gulder ensemble of the State Academic Concert Organization Kazakconcert named after Rosa Baglanova became laureates in the nominations "Folk Dance" and "Choreographer".
