Is your child 6 or 7 years old and interested in ballet?
The Ballet Classes for Children Aged 6 to 7 in Coimbra are ideal for those who wish to begin or deepen their contact with classical dance, in an environment that balances technical discipline and creative expression.
At this stage, children show greater physical maturity and focus, allowing them to work in more detail on posture, basic steps, body alignment, and musicality. At the same time, they continue to develop artistic expression, self-esteem, and a love for the art of dance.
Classes are led by experienced instructors in children's ballet, who closely monitor each student’s progress, encouraging individual development in a welcoming, motivating, and structured setting.
In addition to technical and physical benefits, ballet helps build a strong foundation of self-confidence, discipline, teamwork, and respect, preparing children for challenges both on and off the stage.
Recommended for both girls and boys, with or without prior experience.
Price Includes
- 2 classes per week
Price Does Not Include
