We offer basic education in the arts of dance and circus in the Raseborg area. Are you looking to exercise for fun, for fitness, or in a more goal-oriented way? Come and get to know us!
For childrenFor 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, minicircus 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 & teenagersWe offer basic education in the 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, show jazz, commercial dance, body maintenance circus and acrobatics. Dance/Circus can be a fun hobby you attend once a week, or a hobby with the goal of completing studies in basic education in the arts. It is possible to complete either the general or advanced syllabus in dance and the general syllabus in circus art. 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. |

This is the story of how the different characters meet in the magical world beyond the door and what happened next.
Hurja Piruetti's spring story is inspired by C.S. Lewis' Narnia stories. The world of magical fantasy is fascinating and captivating. It makes you want to peek into every old wardrobe in case you find a magical world inside. After the intermission, there will be a colorful and captivating Higlights dance potpourri, creating the joy of dance and the charm of movement.
Hurja Piruetti's spring performances premiers on 26.4 at 18:00 and continue with 9 performances until 5.5! Tickets go on sale from 25.3. Tickets usually sell out quickly. We can't guarantee tickets for everyone, so make sure you have a seat for the performances in time.

Greetings from Sweden! Hurja Piruetti participated in Street Star Sweden's competition Dance Video Forum 2023 and won first place for best sound and music for the work DAM-U.
The video is a project with Hurja Piruetti's dancers, SixNote's vocal group and youth band The Wales. The concept for the piece came to life by Katja Köngäs, Sathis Hettithanthri and Shanti Grönholm, which was recorded and edited by Linus Westerlund. The choreography was created by the dancers, Katja Köngäs and Sathis Hettithanthri.
Thanks also to Nuori Kulttuuri Roots and Leif Wadenström for the collaboration on this project!
