Modern Kids

Course with Sofia Klein Herrero

In this course the children will have a lot of fun discovering the world of modern dance. Coordination, strength, flexibility, balance, endurance, motor skills and the ability to concentrate are promoted through varied and creative exercises. Dancing takes place in a safe and supportive environment where children can develop freely. In addition to developing the basics of dance, the children have the opportunity to develop their own movement patterns and implement their creative ideas in small composition tasks. They also learn initial improvisation techniques as a tool to expand their artistic expression in dance. Working together also strengthens a sense of rhythm, spatial awareness and social skills such as mindfulness and the ability to work in a team. The focus is always on the joy of dancing and encourages the children to develop their own artistic expression.
