Dance and Nature Workshops - for 5-8-year-olds and their accompanying adults

Dance and nature workshops are designed for children aged 5-8 years together with their accompanying adults. In the workshops we play, move through dance activities, and explore the nearby forest together - themes range from imaginative play to stories, games, and forest walks. The instructors are dance educator Jenni Koistinen and dance choreographer Virva Talonen. No previous dance experience is required.

The workshops are part of the "Art of Knowing" project at the University of Helsinki, funded by the Kone Foundation. Participants can, if they wish, take part in research related to the project - more information: anna.rainio@helsinki.fi.

The workshops are held at Vuotalo's Pikkasali and in the nearby forests of the Vuosaari area. Exact meeting places will be communicated to registered participants before the course begins. We expect participants to be committed to all sessions throughout the autumn season. The workshops are conducted in Finnish, and if needed, also in Swedish and English.
