Classical Ballet

Course with Tereza Matos

"Ballet has always given my life stability. I'm happy to pass on these and other experiences with dance." Tereza Matos has been teaching children, young people and adults at tanzhaus nrw since 2010. The focus is on learning the technique because “it is the tool for expressing feelings and meaning in dance”. Tereza's approachable nature makes it easy for the dancers to immerse themselves in the world of ballet. Your lessons prepare the body for the complex ballet training, steps and choreographic sequences are learned, concentration and presence are trained, and, above all, emphasis is placed on the participants being able to grow beyond themselves.
