Funky Kids - The Little Dance Animals

Course with Ivana Kisic

At the core of Ivana’s classes is the joy of movement and the participants’ curiosity for the discovery of unknown things. This is also part of Ivana and her many qualities: “Things need time. And that is alright.” Here, she invites the kids to take part in athletic choreographies, comprised of elements from hip-hop and ballet. The kids embark on a journey of discovery with their whole bodies, accompanied by sweeping children’s music, transferring what they have learned into doable combinations.
