Dance classes – ballet company "Świergotki"

The ballet company "Świergotki" was founded in 2012, and its creation was the result of observing the extraordinary passion for dance of girls from the younger classes of primary school. On stage, their dreams of grace, graceful movements, elegance, ballet shoes and tulle skirts come true. Dance shapes the sensitivity and develops the imagination of girls. It teaches a sense of co-responsibility, self-discipline and concentration of attention. It also gives the opportunity to express emotions, and young dancers can realize their artistic dreams thanks to it. It is impossible to forget about the beneficial effects of dance on children's health; Dance exercises develop natural grace, promote the coordination of movements of the whole body, affect the harmonious and free movement of the child. Girls become sensitive to the beauty of dance, all you need is a piece of space, a few bars of music and a little desire to take a dance journey through the known and unknown corners of their own world. Rhythm and movement allow you to express your own emotional states, positive and negative, in a safe and socially acceptable way.

The premiere performance of the group was the "Dance of the Birds" arrangement, in which the girls conjured up the most beautiful season of the year for the audience – spring. It was she who woke up the sleeping birds and caused them to flap their wings in a dance almost to the sky – they whirled, soared up and down, glided free, light and happy. For a moment they were terrified by the approaching storm, but after a while they gracefully turned pirouettes, made jumps, ran in circles with outstretched wings.

Another arrangement prepared by the girls was "Dance of Flowers". It depicts a land in which a small dungaree conjured up a garden full of colorful roses, daisies, tulips, forget-me-nots and cornflowers. Suddenly, strange newcomers appeared in it, causing panic among the flowers. The performance proved that sometimes it is not worth being afraid, and what seems terrible can be easily tamed. It was a story about how friendship blossoms, love is born and courage wins.

The third arrangement prepared by the group was "Dance of Butterflies". The beautiful dance of the girls is best reflected in the words of the poem:

We will light the dew slides,
We will comb the hair of the flowers:
Today – our great ball!
Solemn as in a church,
The moon is on our earth
Milky-silver scarf.
For orchestra – singing nightingales
The Fire Star will lend us
Up to a hundred colored lamps
The sky sifs its sapphire,
Hangs on the branches of a tree
Discs of dark spots.
Let's dance! Today is our holiday!
Let's dance in miracles the night enchanted…
Butterfly Ball"
A. Rudawcowa

This school year, the ensemble presented itself in the choreography "Dance of Mermaids".
… Hen, far from the shores, to the middle of the sea, where nothing can be seen but the blue above the waves, where the water transparent as the purest crystal, and dark sapphire as cornflower is the depth immeasurable, the abyss so deep that no ship can stop here, because the anchor will not reach the bottom. In this unfathomable abyss lived beautiful mermaids…

This is how the well-known fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen began, which was the inspiration to create a new dance arrangement of our little ballerinas. To the sounds of beautiful, atmospheric music, the little mermaids showed, as usual, lightness and grace of movements. In their dance, they showed the poetry of the underwater, magical world. The blue-green sea surrounded them with its infinite space, and the mermaids splashing in its waves sparkled rainbow. They exuded grace, beauty and girlish joy.
