Greta

Teacher Hip-Hop

Greta Snitkutė – dance teacher, dancer, performer. Since she started dancing 10 years ago at Low Air dance school, she has tried different styles of street dance, contemporary dance, jazz, but the most fascinating for Greta is hip-hop street dance, its culture and music. To deepen her dance knowledge, she attended various workshops in France, Juste Debout school with Icee, Link, in Lithuania, winter dance summit KOLONIJA with Maxim Orobets – Maximus Mad State, Patrick Willliams – Twoface, Bruno Caverna, Victor Rottier, Natalia Iwaniec, Alesya Dobysh, Carlos Aller, Marina Pravkina, in Poland, international street dance event United Session with Alex the Cage.

For her personal progress as a dancer in 2017, Greta was awarded the Most Promising Student Educational Scholarship by Low Air Dance Theatre in Vilnius. Since 2017 she has been actively participating in Low Air professional theatre projects, some of the most memorable ones: A special dance performance for the Pope and 30 000 spectators “For those who are far away”, dance performance “LIKEDISLIKE” in the social campaign “Awareness month WITHOUT BULLYING 2020” organised by “Vaikų Linija”, dance etudes evening “The Biggest Event of the Year” and other artists’ projects: performance artist Monika Dirsytė’s performance “Nobody will take me away from me”, role in hybrid documentary film “The Ship” (director: Gerda Paliušytė).

Greta is one of the co-creators and dancers of the Vilnius City Dance Theatre’s Low Air dance performance for (non-)teenagers “me two / We, The Clique”. After the premiere of the performance in August 2021, the company is currently actively showing the performance in cities abroad and in Lithuania, as well as conducting workshops on the “me two / We, The Clique” method for young people in the regions. For the best performance for children and young people in 2021, the team was awarded the Golden Stage Cross, the highest theatre award in Lithuania. As part of the Vilnius City Dance Theatre Low Air, Greta has performed in the dance performance “Blue Blue” , a minor role in the dance performance “The Meet(ing)”, and has been involved in international projects, including an international project with the Po:ruszeni Stowarzyszenie Artystyczne from Poland.
In 2023, together with dancers and creators Ema Senkuviene and Marius Eidrigevičius, presented the sound and movement dance performance “Truth or Dare”.

From 2019 Greta is engaged in teaching at the Low Air dance school, in 2022 graduated from Vilnius University, Faculty of Communication, Creative Communication study program and obtained a bachelor’s degree in social sciences.

THREE KEY EVENTS:

-Low Air Dance Community. During my 10 years at Low Air, I have found a home, friends, and, most importantly, constant knowledge and experiences that are nurturing. I feel that it is a special community where I feel mutual trust and a desire to know. It’s good to see people who dare to come to their first dance class, it’s good to see how dance liberates and brings people together and constantly, without stopping, grows and encourages others to grow.

-The pedagogical work with children. With their freedom and creativity, and sometimes with a very clear attitude or opinion, the children encourage us to keep learning and to look at dance and movement creatively. I feel that there is mutual learning in the classroom and the children learn from each other. What makes me the happiest is when the pupils discover themselves in movement, accept their bodies, and feel freedom in movement (and in words).

-At the Golden Stage Cross Awards ceremony, when we received the Golden Stage Cross for the best performance of 2021 for children and young people – “me two / We, The Clique”, I had the opportunity to speak and invite others to speak more and talk more, on comfortable and uncomfortable topics. I felt at the time that the language of dance is encouraging, opening and nurturing, and that the dance performance can help the audience (and the creators) to discover a long-delayed conversation.

Teacher's schedule

Breaking

Level: B (Beginner)

Teaches: Rukus

B (Beginner) – Total beginner. No dancing experience required. Breaking is probably the best known and most dynamic dance style of the whole bunch of street dances. It is full of acrobatic moves, light-speed movements of the feet, spinning on one‘s head or arm.

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.
