Dance classes especially designed for this age group
Since 1997 we have been organising these ballroom dance classes for teen dancers. Meanwhile, students of all the European Schools, the German School, the British School, the International Schools, the Montesorischool, Lycee Francais and a many Brussels athenums are participating in these classes.
Main aims:
By learning non-verbal communication tools, they learn to lead and to follow
- to trust a partner
- to take responsability
- to work in a team
- to respect each other
At the same time the students train
- coordination within their own body
- coordination with a partner
- coordination with music
- orientation in space
All students will benefit of
- a very refined body awareness
- a stronger and stable posture
- a better presentation
- being experts in etiquette on and around the dancefloor
- more self confidance
The classes start with solo dancing, to study the patterns and rhythms. Progressively, the students learn to dance with a partner and to execute more complicated combinations.
