Preparatory study of dance is a part of basic art education in dance. Learners get acquainted with both contemporary dance and ballet along with a variety of basic movements. Lessons include creative exercises, dance technique, acrobatics and short choreographies. Positive experiences and moving together with others support children’s self-image and creativity. Diverse activities act as a good basis for basic dance education. 

If moving on to basic studies in dance after preparatory studies, either contemporary dance or ballet is chosen as a major. It is also possible to have two majors.
