Kreativer Kindertanz from 3 to 5 Years
challenging and funny
Elizabeth's fifteen years of experience in children's dance are inspired by her own dance experiences as a child, her daughter's influence and some of playful challenges offered through ballet syllabus training and cross hemispheric training. All in all it's about offering challenges through which children can explore the space around them and their imaginations. It's about having fun and celebrating the dance spirit, so alive in children!
