Katerina Kotridou's Dance School
On tuesday 2nd of October we went to dance school of Katerina Kotridou in Pereya. I really liked an atmospere there, teachers and students are very nice and warm. It’s possible to find different activities on your own taste like ballet, tai-chi, contemporary dance, somatics, yoga, self-defense, vocal and many others there.
We attend to tai-chi class. And after I helped on vocal lesson by piano playing. I really inspired to be in this lesson, I really loved the job of master, the way how she communicated with child. Teacher tried to speak and played with her, developing the imagination and taught true vocal-breath technique. This is really nice!
After that director of school offered to try something with her ballet class (children 10-13 years old). So I tried to learn with them russian traditional song “Ah ty, nochen’ka” with movements like in Waldorf system of education. It is really wonderful experience, because it helps to communicate with greek dancing students and mix different pedagogic methods in one way. Students were very keen and pretty quickly caught the main moments.
