Creative dance is a programme that makes children fall in love with movement, music, art and expressing themselves creatively by learning different dance techniques in a noncompetitive atmosphere.
By dancing and having fun, we develop coordination, motor skills, flexibility, concentration, awareness of one’s own body and self-confidence to explore movement and express one’s thoughts and emotions through movement. By combining dance techniques and physical theatre, along with rhythm and music, children are given the opportunity to express their creativity, spontaneity and openness through guided improvisations.
By working in smaller and bigger groups and by exploring nonverbal communication, children are developing empathy and respect for diversity, while at the same time learning about teamwork and cooperation.
Come dance, create and do some serious work with us, in a fun way! The number of seats are limited, thus it’s necessary to apply via email [email protected] or phone number +381 63 54 23 78.
