Magical world of art, culture and imagination created for kids
Childhood is the parent of a man's personality, and that is a quote that we have been building BeoBalet on for years.
We have fully opted for and dedicated ourselves to working with children. We are also committed to developing a new children's pedagogy in the field of ballet and art programs. We want our children's childhoods to be interesting, filled with challenges, experiences, and knowledge that will develop their skills, potentials, as well as their personality and body. We insist on a diverse cultural environment, discovering and nurturing the right values. Together we explore classical ballet and music, and thus we visit theaters, museums, libraries, and galleries.
BeoBalet implies a multidisciplinary approach which refers to education in the field of ballet, music, acting, yoga, and gymnastics. This combination of ballet lessons, workshops and all other activities that we organize for our students and their families makes the original BeoBalet program special. Classical ballet classes instill a sense of pride and achievement, which can, therefore, boost a child's confidence. Ballet is a combination of movement, music, and a specific performance. It is exactly through this combination that the child improves their perception and cognition, involving attention, memory, and learning. Furthermore, they develop their attention and concentration. These are the skills that your children will benefit from in the future.
