Dance workshops

curiosity,
the desire to play,
the desire to experiment,
creativity,
the need to connect with others,
the need to understand the world through the body and the 5 senses,
the desire to understand the world,
the desire to create ...
are all basic tools with which they develop a vocabulary of movement and dance.

Our teaching, inspired by the approaches of Célestin Freinet, Maria Montessori, Loris Malaguzzi and Moshe Feldenkrais, also draws on a strong tradition of dance transmission. It allows us to support children and young people with varied personalities, needs and motivations.

Bal Spécial's projects stem from a deep conviction: every child, every young person and every adult, with their unique personality, abilities and physical characteristics, has a potential for imagination, creation, invention and dance. By nourishing dance with theatre, visual arts and music, we reach a very diverse audience and open artistic practices to as many people as possible.

After a first introduction to dance, Bal Spécial invites children and teenagers to continue their journey through a multitude of artistic adventures: workshops with invited artists, choreographic creations, meetings with the professional world of dance and live performance, exchanges with other young people, advanced technical workshops and research projects.

Each group benefits from a programme of at least 30 workshops per year, from September to early July. From age 10, children have the opportunity to sign up for a second technical workshop and, for some, a third to deepen their dance practice.
