Children’s dance
Dance studies start with children’s dance at the age of 2–5. Children attend the lessons first with an accompanying adult and later on independently. We encourage children towards diverse movement and creative expression. The activities have an emphasis on a playful experience
Preparatory study of dance
Preparatory studies of dance are suitable for learners aged 6–8. Students get acquainted with both contemporary dance and ballet along with a variety of basic movements. Experimenting movement together, we also build a basis for applying for basic dance education.
Ballet and contemporary dance
Basic dance studies may start at the age of 8–9. During basic studies each student chooses to major either in ballet or in contemporary dance, and advances from one level to the next individually. Performing and preparing for performances also has an important role in dance studies. After completing basic studies in dance, students move on to advanced level studies.
Open conservatory
The adult groups of our Open Conservatory offer tuition f. ex. in ballet and contemporary dance with our highly competent teachers.
