WOOLWICH DANCE SPACE

Children's ballet

What Woolwich Dance Space says

We are a young organisation that celebrates inclusivity, embodiment and creativity in children, young people, and families through movement and dance.
Our children’s ballet classes carry a holistic, creative and playful approach to teaching. Striving for a fun and child oriented environment in which each child can follow its natural desire to move whilst learning ballet technique in a safe and age appropriate way, Svenja includes elements of the Royal Academy of Dance's syllabus, appreciating their developmental orientation.

Her classes promote a child-friendly, safe dance practice in which children are encouraged to learn their first technical skills alongside developing creativity, imagination, and confidence through the joy of dancing.
Svenja has taught and facilitated creative dance and children's ballet for over 15 years and loves supporting young dancers in finding their artistic voice through movement and dance.
