The Loimaan Region Music College provides basic dance education according to a broad syllabus. Students can study satirical ballet, contemporary dance and ballet under the guidance of a professional teacher. Teaching is based on the dance school’s own curriculum, which is drawn up in accordance with national guidelines.

Basic dance education is goal-oriented and progressive. Dance skills are acquired through interesting exercises and the joy of learning. There is also room for initiative and individual dance expression.

The classes start with satuballet for 4-6 year olds and elementary ballet for 7 year olds. For older children and young people, there are basic and advanced ballet and contemporary dance courses.

Dance is a performing art, and at Christmas and spring there are dance performances by students from the college.
