Džemilė

Teacher Hip-Hop

Džemilė Šaltenytė – dancer, dance performer. She started dancing in 2010, when she was only 5 years old, she came to her first dance school to dance in the teenagers group, as there were no other age groups. From a young age, she attended various events and workshops related to hip-hop culture. In her dance journey she has tried all styles of street dance, including constant practice and/or participation in dance battles, representing styles such as hip-hop, house, popping, locking, litefeet.

She is an active participant in workshops with international teachers and pioneers of street dance styles including legends such as Babson, Malkolm, Kevin Paradox, Niako, Slim Boogie, Nelson, Frankie J, Kieran, Batalla, Keron. For several years she participated in the international dance camp “Tasty Camp” where she attended workshops with dancers such as Boogie Frantick, Alex the Cage. For two years she participated in the “Trippy Dance Camp” International Dance Camp where she attended over 20 dance workshops with world renowned choreographers and dancers Shay Latukolan, Jimmy Yudat, Kenzo Alvares, Anthony Nakhle.

In 2021, Džemilė joined to train with Nickel Yudat in the online programme “Beyond the Moves”. In 2022 she started to deepen her knowledge of movement and dance at Low Air School of Dance, in contemporary dance and contemporary ballet dance classes. Since 2024 she has been a dancer in Low Air Dance Theatre in Vilnius City Dance Theatre’s (non-)teenage performance “me two / We, The Clique”.

Džemilė has participated in various types of creative projects, working with different disciplines, including: a role in the hybrid documentary film “The Ship” (directed by Gerda Paliušytė), the LRT project “Musical Time Travel”, a role in the LRT documentary series “N16”, and she has also been involved in the creative process of the dance performance “Yet Another Day In Paradise” by the dance artist/choreographer Lukas Karvelis and dancer Benoit Couchot.

Currently, Džemilė is exploring various dance styles and practices, trying to expand her range of movement without being confined by the definition of dance styles, and is actively preparing for enrolment to dance studios.

THREE KEY EVENTS:

-The first dance battles in Verdun. I was only 4.5 years old and had been dancing for only a month. I still cherish the photo of me standing in the “Baby freeze” pose on my head with the first cup in front of me.

-The decision to start learning contemporary dance – a new and unusual way of moving for my body, after many years of street dance practice. I have always wanted to explore my body and movement from different perspectives, so this opened the door to different ways of moving and a broader understanding of dance.

-Participation and touring in the Swedish Children and Youth Biennial Bibu with the dance performance “me two / We, The Clique”. I dreamt of the opportunity to perform on the theatre stage with a dance performance. These intense first 4 performances abroad brought this dream closer. I also felt a great sense of gratitude that I could perform in the context of dance theatre without losing my street dance movement.

Perhaps the main goal of these classes is to discover the freedom of movement in ballet technique and make it more receptive to other forms of movement, and to open up a wider range of self-expression for those who move, create and dance. Contemporary ballet classes are open to those with a wide range of dance experience and those with no dance experience.

Contemporary Ballet

Level: O (Open)

Teaches: Vaiva

Contemporary ballet classes are offered as an alternative to classical ballet training. It is designed for dancers with no experience as well as for dancers practicing contemporary dance and other dance styles. Classes will focus on working on balance, stillness and coordination. Together we will look for a personal approach, which will allow us to take a fresh look at ballet technique with a deep tradition. Perhaps the main goal of these classes is to discover the freedom of movement in ballet technique and make it more receptive to other forms of movement, and to open up a wider range of self-expression for those who move, create and dance. Contemporary ballet classes are open to those with a wide range of dance experience and those with no dance experience.
