Through this fun class, the child discovers the pleasure of movement in relation to music, he will also explore his relationship to others and to his own body. Rhythm, flexibility and improvisation exercises are integrated little by little, always seeking to stimulate the child’s creativity.
Through this course, the child continues to develop the relationship to his body, to others. The child works on space, coordination, rhythm, flexibility and gradually provides a basic vocabulary with images to facilitate understanding. The initiation to ballet gives children a solid base allowing them to then continue classical ballet or to learn another form of dance.
For students wishing to begin or consolidate the learning of the classic technique or in addition to another discipline to acquire the necessary bases (placement, maintenance, technique). From the age of 9, two possibilities are available to students: continue in the leisure section or head towards the Dance-study sector which leads to pre-professional training (on the proposal of the teachers).
Born on American soil, Jazz dance is a popular and living art that has developed following different trends. It harmoniously combines rhythms, styles and techniques deemed irreconcilable and appeals as much to the most demanding technique as to the most authentic feeling. It is a lively dance based on energy, syncopated rhythms, silences, dynamics and swing while promoting individual expression and “feeling”. There are as many styles of jazz dance as there are teachers who teach it. Sur des musiques jazzy, soul, électronique ou R&B.
Le cours se déroule en trois temps :
Échauffement, placement du corps, coordination, travail au sol et assouplissement
Déplacements, technique – pirouettes, sauts…
Enchaînements chorégraphiques
Originally from the United States, street dance is a generic term and does not refer to a specific discipline, but rather a combination of different styles of urban dance and modern jazz.
Practised to mostly R&B music, street jazz is the dance of the moment that you find in music videos, TV shows, etc.
The contemporary dance class is above all a space available to the body to allow it to rediscover its joyful nature, its flexibility and its spontaneity. It is for the student to find the first feeling of movement inside his body and to project this feeling outwards in order to express through gesture an artistic emotion in space and time. The technical aspect is approached in a fun way to allow you to taste real freedom of physical expression in complete safety. The class is mainly focused on letting go, the notions of breathing, visualization and feeling, fluidity in speed, movement in space and work in relation to the ground.
Directly inspired by the street dance of black American ghettos, Hip-Hop has found a very warm welcome with the general public because it allows an easy approach to dance, it also reflects a young and current state of mind. Energy, dynamism, speed of movement and good physical condition are necessary for this class which begins with a quick warm-up and continues with the learning of choreographies on R&B, funky music.
Flamenco is a very structured artistic form traditionally using song, dance, guitar and “palms”. Shaped by the experience of joy and suffering, it expresses the deepest human emotions with rare intensity. Learning this dance allows you to explore the expressive capacities of your body, to develop them, to better feel this vital momentum that we all have but to which we do not always have access. Combining rigor and pleasure in learning the different styles that make up flamenco, the course is divided as follows: technique – warm-up, rhythm, posture – then development of step sequences and choreography.
