Hurja Piruetti - Basic education in dance and circus art

The joy of dance is for everyone!

We provide dance classes for dancers of all ages. Are you looking for a hobby that is fun, that will get you in shape, that will strenghten your bodily expression, or are you looking for something more goal-directed and want to be part of our competition groups and performances? We have dance classes of different levels for everyone above the age of 3.

For children

For children, we can provide a range of active courses from children’s dance classes to mini ballet and acrobatics. We have groups in children’s dance classes and mini ballet starting from 3-year-olds. For the beginners’ acrobatics the age limit is 4. In the classes, your child will learn basic skills in moving, rhythm and space, as well as get to know their own body whilst learning about working in a group. The world of dance and acrobatics is explored through games and mental imagery. The classes directed at children are a stepping stone for later studies in specific dance styles, and are counted as part of the studies in basic education in arts.

Youth & teenagers

We offer basic education in arts for youngsters from on the age of 7. In our selection we have, for example, contemporary dance, classical ballet, lyrical jazz, hip hop, breakdance, locking, DANCE, show jazz, commercial dance, body maintenance and acrobatics. Dance can be a fun hobby you attend once a week, or a hobby with the goal of completing studies in basic education in arts. It is possible to complete the basic education in arts in either the basic or advanced syllabus. The advanced syllabus is available for contemporary dance or street styles as the main subject of studies. Our student advisor Ulla Koho as well as our other teachers will provide help in matters regarding studies in dance.

For adults

Are you looking for something to do that’s fun, something that gets you in shape, or something with a possibility to progress? We offer SuperBallet, Ladies -classes (different levels), 60+ class for seniors, funkyjazz (different levels), dancehall reggae, production classes, and body maintenance classes.

According to the new guidelines, students over the age of 12 in Hurja Piruet will switch to distance learning from March 8, 2021 (for 3 weeks from March 8 to 28, 2021). All exercises for children under the age of 12 normally continue as face-to-face instruction in their own offices according to the reading schedule.

Distance learning lessons are held in chronological order. A few lessons of the same species and level will be combined, but we will notify the parties separately and send participation links to the lessons. In distance education, studies in basic art education normally accumulate. Attendance is checked at the beginning of the class.

Next week, from 1 to 7 March 2021, the hours will normally be in chronological order. Let's do the next three weeks together by practicing and acting. It is hoped that we will soon be able to return to contact teaching with all those over 12 years of age as well.

Regards,

Teachers of the Fierce Pirouette
