ballet classes

[Voodoo Ray]

Does anyone know of some good ballet classes for my 3 yr old daughter, preferably in the Palermo area?
Thanks

Hey there, when I came here it took me a while to sift through the many many bad dance school websites until I found one that had actual info (hello, a schedule!?!?) that was useful.

SO. For your daughter, she MIGHT be a little young. Most classes for the little ones (pre-ballet, fun movement classes) start from 4 or 5 yrs. Not saying that is true here, but it is a possibility!

Anyway, you just might have to go through this list until you find what you are looking for in the area you are looking for:

The Fundacion Julio Bocca does offer 'clasico para ninos' at their San Ysidro studios. But that is kinda far from Palermo.

Their downtown studio is good for adults, but not for the little ones.

I take class from 2 different teachers at Domus in San Telmo, Rita Caride & Nadia Freedom. Perhaps contact the studio to see if they give lessons to children elsewhere? Or just ask them if they know where to find what you are looking for.
They are super nice and energetic :O)

Heck if you have a studio space I will give her a pre-dance lesson. They are more about playing, hearing music, learning to mimic, it is cute.

There has been a thread about this some time ago.

Hey Ray, I found this link when I was looking for dance events in BsAs:

Of course some of the listings provide class info but no phone number or address :OP but you can then google the studio names. Erk web developer/designer's nightmare, these dance websites LOL.
Not sure how good your spanish is...but look for 'danza clasica para ninos,' 'clasico para ninos,' 'clasico infantil,' stuff like that.

Hi:

As dance teacher I would like to give you a recomendation: please be carefull when you choose an academy for your daugther. At your daugther's age, the teachers should have special care in tactics and techniques they apply in their lessons.
Children are developing phisically and intelectually, so you should look for skilled teachers in pedagogy and dance. It is not just about teaching dance movements, it is about delivering the knowledge in a proper and customized way for those little girls who are starting these discipline.

Actually there are few academies that have skilled teachers, google shows some of them you could try using some of these queries: "clases de danza para niñas y adolescentes" or for example "escuela de baile para niñas".
Also If you want information about my school, please send me a private message. I hope this information will be helpfull to you or at least for someone else. Best regards Mariana Abib.
