Children’s Course

Children’s Course
The course is led by Carla Doorn

In a playful way, children aged 6-7 are introduced to the world of dance and music. It’s all about joy and fun through movement!

The basics of contemporary dance are practiced, as well as the art of improvisation through imagery and storytelling. The classes incorporate elements from acrobatics, yoga, and acting, among others. The combination of play and dance stimulates the children’s imagination, expressiveness, and creativity, while also training their sense of rhythm, balance, and coordination. Whenever possible, the children are introduced to Tanzhaus young performances and their artists.
