CHILDREN'S DANCE / BALLET I
Pre Ballet includes the first steps into the world of ballet for children between the ages of 3 and 6.
Although free movement (the opportunity to improvise) is an important element of this grade level, the remaining time is used to introduce the children to the first basic ballet steps and stretching exercises, in addition to learning to move in rhythm and understanding the first French expressions of the dance steps.

BALLET Children & Adults
Ballet is the basis of most modern dance forms of our time. This beautiful and demanding technique is a necessary foundation for all young and aspiring dancers.
It is a very disciplined form of dance that always strives for perfection, executing all movements with complete elegance, grace and control. Ballet lessons help dancers to develop body awareness and body alignment that brings their own mobility into optimal form.
This dance genre is not easy to learn, it requires a lot of practice and perseverance, but it offers endless benefits. Dancers are constantly working to improve their posture and flexibility, they gain strength and a comprehensive knowledge of all the techniques of the ballet art.

“Dance helps you to find yourself and also to lose yourself”
These classes at Lit Dance School fuse elements of contemporary and modern dance, such as freedom of expression, interpretation of music, the principles of letting go and rising, control, breathing, balance and tensing and relaxing the body. Teachers incorporate a variety of different styles and movements of contemporary and post-modern dance into their classes.
