🌟 What Awaits You Over Three Months

Month 1: Discovery & Core Skills

We start by laying solid foundations. You’ll prepare for the stage by focusing on body coordination, flexibility, and rhythm. While body-awareness and posture exercises help you discover your physical potential, you’ll also train your musical ear to move in harmony with rhythm. Then, through improvisation sessions, you’ll build spontaneity and the courage to step on stage without a script.

Month 2: Deepening & Choreography Creation

Next, you’ll take your basics further. By focusing on choreography building and movement techniques, you’ll gain confidence across different dance styles. You’ll create movement phrases that tell a story and practice bringing emotions and themes to life through dance—strengthening your artistic perspective and stage presence.

Month 3: Practice & Performance

In the final month, you’ll bring everything together. You’ll experience team spirit through group choreographies. Working in sync with partners, you’ll carry a dance piece to the stage and refine your performance through rehearsals. At the end of the month, you’ll present a final performance, showcase your skills, and receive feedback from the instructor and your peers.

This journey is more than a dance class—it’s a chance to express yourself, build confidence, and be part of a collective art form.

🎯 What You’ll Gain

By joining this program, you are expected to develop the following skills:

  • Communication: Use your body language and movement more effectively to express yourself better.
  • Confidence: Grow more comfortable performing in front of others thanks to stage experience.
  • Creativity: Improve your ability to think on your feet and generate quick movement ideas through improvisation.
  • Teamwork: Learn to collaborate with others through group projects.
  • Body Control: Increase body awareness and flexibility.
  • Artistic Perspective: See the world through a new lens thanks to the art of dance.
