– To the often asked question “Is it too late for me to start dancing?” the answer is that it’s never too late to start dancing! Low Air Dance School welcomes children aged 7-11, teenagers aged 12-17, young people 18+ and adults. All adults over 40 are welcome to join the sLow Air classes, which are based on natural body movement, simple forms of movement used in urban and contemporary dance, dance movements and improvisation. Combining imagery, metaphor and bodily response, the classes immerse the participant in the experience of the here and now.
– If you want to dance, but your age group doesn’t have a good time or the group is full, you are welcome to join other older or younger age groups. We are open to everyone, so we will find an individual solution for everyone.
EVENTS AND CAMPS
– Every year we organise a Low Air Dance School community event, the “Big Event of the Year”, an evening of dance etudes, where all students have the opportunity to perform on a professional theatre stage. Each group, together with their teacher, prepares a special dance performance which they present to the audience. Each performance is documented and a video of each dance is produced after the event.
During the “Big Event of the Year”, every dancer has the opportunity to try their hand at dancing on stage in front of an audience of 200 people, with professional lighting and stage outfits, and to see the creative “kitchen” of the dance performances and to become part of an evening of études.
– In spring, on 29 April, to celebrate the International Dance Day, the Low Air Dance School community together with the teachers prepare dance etudes in the outdoor spaces of Vilnius, creating a different dance experience by dancing outdoors in the different spaces of the city, while the performances are observed by passers-by and guests.
– To celebrate the beginning and the end of the dance season, we organise dance battles and open-air parties on Gediminas Avenue, so you can get to know each other or share a dance move with your dance friends and teachers not only during dance classes, but also during events.
– In addition to all of the above mentioned events, every year we organise a children’s summer day camp, the international winter dance meeting in Nida “Dance Colony”, the international festival “PŪGA” as well as other events and festivals of the Vilnius City Dance Theatre “Low Air”.
