Contemporary + Acrobatics for kids ages 7-12

Mondays 16:00 – 17:00 | Thursdays 16:00 – 17:00 – This is a comprehensive course that meets twice a week, with lessons building upon each other.

Contemporary is a modern dance style that connects movement with music and imagination. Children can discover what their bodies are capable of – without strict rules, but with a large dose of creativity and joy. Children gradually learn dance technique, spatial awareness, coordination, balance, improvisation, rhythm, self-awareness, and much more. The experience is based on emotions experienced through dance and movement. In this course, we teach children to perceive their feelings and not be afraid of them. Whether they are positive or negative, it is important to express them. The lessons are also interwoven with basic elements of acrobatics, where children learn the basics such as somersaults, handstands, cartwheels, and will work with their balance and body strengthening. If they already master these basics, they can try more difficult elements. Acrobatics is an integral part of dance choreography, and with this course, children will learn to combine these two components into one. The lessons are designed to be systematically complete in shorter movement activities that flow smoothly together. At the same time, they give them correct movement habits and motivate them for further movement education.

Who is the lesson suitable for?

The lesson is suitable for all children, including children with imbalances, who love to dance in the age category of 7 to 12 years. Children from our previous Contemporary 6-10 year courses usually transfer to these lessons, which are followed by more complex dance elements. However, if a new applicant is a beginner, they don’t have to be afraid to enter these lessons. The instructors start each semester by explaining basic dance skills. This is a comprehensive course in which individual lessons build on each other, so children are constantly improving in recurring, but also in new movements.
