Ballet energy for schools
first steps, first moves
In Ballet energy for schools workshop, the dancers of the Finnish National Ballet will stage a dance-oriented exercise class. The class begins with a short dance performance, after which the dancers will work with the students in small groups. The workshop allows the students to try out acrobatics, pirouettes and balancing, as well as strength-building exercises.
The Ballet energy for schools workshop will introduce ballet to schoolchildren as both a sport and an art form. Its goal is to inspire 7-year-olds to take up dance, inspire curiosity towards ballet, and encourage applications to the Ballet School of the Finnish National Opera and Ballet. Workshops are free of charge.
BalLET ENERGY FOR your school?
Ballet energy for schools workshops tour schools in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen in the spring season. The next workshops will take place in spring 2026.
The workshops are suitable for all schoolchildren who are currently in the first grade. There will be one or two 75-minute workshops at each school, depending on the agreed schedule. One workshop can accommodate 30 children, but two workshops will be held in case of more participants.
The idea is to have all the school’s 7-year-olds take part. The workshop will take place at the schools sports hall and the teacher must be present throughout the workshop.
