Kids Contemporary
(Age 3-6 / Age 6-12 / Age 12-16)
Kids ContemporaryThis class is for children to dance with their own ideas and movement. We encourage them to play and get a new experience with their own body. The aim is for them to enjoy dancing and achieving their balance and musicality.
Kids Ballet
(Age 6-8 / Age 8-12)
Kids BalletIn this class, we will explain the name of the ballet steps and children can experience them with music. Through basic barre & center practice, they will be aware of their own weight, balance and coordination of the body. Of course boys are welcome too.
Adult Ballet
(Beginners / Classic Ballet)
Adult BalletEach step will be explained slowly, so do not worry even if you are completely new in ballet. Everyone who's interested in ballet is welcome. We will do stretch and basic barre & center. In beginner's ballet, we will practice basic steps and in classic ballet, we will try to dance a little sequence.
Adult Stretch & Dance
Adult Stretch DanceThis is a relaxing stretch class for adults (16+). In the first 1hour we will be doing dancer's stretch and in the last 30min we will continue a little exercise based on contemporary dance. Your body & mind will feel relaxed by the end of the class. And onsen is recommended to finish your day. (Just joining the stretching and leaving after first 1hour is okay.)
NOTE: Please wear any clothes you would like that are easy for you to move in (e.g. T-shirt, Leggings etc)
