🧑🩰Professional Ballet & Contemporary Dance Classes for Kids & Teens
Ballet, Modern & Jazz Dance Classes for Kids, Tweens and Teens
Starting this October, Balance 1 Academy offers new dance classes for children and teenagers: Ballet, Jazz, and Modern/Contemporary Dance — playful for younger kids, more advanced for teens.
Classes take place at Villa Balance, our dance villa in Berlin-Tempelhof, just a short walk from the Kaiserin-Augusta-Straße and Ullsteinstraße U6 stations — also easy to reach from Mariendorf, Schöneberg, and Kreuzberg.
The Ballet- & Dance School is part of Balance 1 Academy, which has also run a recognized vocational training program in Contemporary Dance since 1996. Children and teenagers now train in the same studios as our full-time dance students.
