......( four years and older)
The course of classic ballet with Efrosini Voutsina and Maria Nikoloulea is proposed as the ideal exercise for young children, boys and girls who have not yet fully developed their skeletal system, that have flexibility to muscles and ligaments, which enables them to increase the range of motion and obtain the correct posture.
The goal of this lesson is to begin the kinesiologic education of children. This can be achieved:
- Through combinations of exercises (on the bar, in the centre and on the floor) which target the empowerment of muscle tone, the development of flexibility and giving a correct stance to the body in general, which will be the basis for further development.
- Through rythmic exercises, which target the development of the children's musicality.
- Through dance and free motion. Improvisation, free of already known motion motives. The main pursuit is the expression of the children's inwardness and their crative imagination.
At the end of the year, parents and friends have the opportunity to attend a live presentation of young students in the hall of the school. The school year begins on October 1st and ends late June, while the school is closed for Christmas and Easter holidays for almost two weeks and does not work on national and school holidays.
For more information about the program and operation dates of the school, see the Program.

In 2010, she presented her first choreographic work entitled Pendulum.
Maria Nikoloulea
Maria Nikoloulea started studying ballet in Athens at a very young age. However, the greatest part of her professional training took place in London, one of the world’s most vibrant and progressive centres for dance, where she gained most of her experience. In 2000 she graduated from London Middlessex University, receiving a degree in Dance and she continued studying in The Place, one of London’s oldest and most acknowledged advanced dance schools, for one year, receiving a “one-year certificate” in Modern Dance. For five years she was a member of the Richard Alston Dance Company, one of the most distinguished British dance groups, working with acclaimed choreographers, teachers and talented dancers and gaining invaluable experience. In 2007, always with an insatiable need to explore new fields in movement and physical exercise, she attended seminars on pilates in Laban School, London, and received an instructor’s certificate from the Pilates Foundation. In 2009 she found herself in Athens, in Modulor Dance Space, where she started giving pilates classes to adults and ballet children’s classes.
