From the first sense of rhythm to choreography

Dresden offers a wonderful selection of movement concepts for families. The search for a suitable dance school in Dresden for children often leads to the question of which course is appropriate at what age. For the very youngest, from one to three years old, the focus is on the shared experience with parents. Parent-child dance is about initial rhythm games, simple songs, and discovering the room together. From about three years old, Creative Children's Dance promotes their own imagination: the children transform into animals, seasons, or mythical creatures and learn to coordinate their bodies through play. From primary school age, the range of offers in Dresden becomes much more diverse. Here, kids can choose between classical ballet for children, high-energy Hip Hop, or modern jazz and show dance formations. It is always important that the joy of movement without performance pressure is at the forefront to awaken a lifelong love of dancing.
