“Dance is the hidden language of the soul”
― Martha Graham
DANCE is undoubtedly a guarantee of health and physical fitness. It is indispensable for children at any age. Dance is creativity allowing to reveal the child’s individuality; it gives him/her confidence and frees from complexes. Children’s dance relaxes, contributes to aesthetic development, trains a music ear, a sense of rhythm, coordination of movement. It improves flexibility, posture, gate and figure.
Regular dance classes broaden the child’s mental outlook, and allow the child to cognize and express him/herself. The skills gained during dance classes will help the child’s authority among peers and will allow him/her to be a star at school social events. The teacher of our dance studio will do her best to find the right approach to and mutual understanding with each child. She will also try to develop their music ear, to teach to feel the music, its character, to move in time.

A choreographer is a creative profession that permanently requires novelty. Besides, the complexity of the profession lies in organising and guiding dancers.
Each choreographer knows how complicated it is to pick up appropriate music for a dance performance and process it. It often takes a lot of time and effort. I am very grateful to Qdos who often helps in doing it.
A Circle of Happiness (2009) is my favourite dance for the present because, in my opinion, it is not overloaded by details, the movements smoothly flowing one into another. What is the most important in this performance is the interaction of the dancers. The main idea of the dance is to show a circle of mutual help and sympathy. I am convinced in the following: kindness given to others will by all means return to you. The dance is performed by the dance studio “Visage”.
Jazz Dance (2009) was mad eat the accompaniment of the live music. The music was played by the students of the Jazz Faculty of the Music Academy of Latvia; the dance was performed by the students of the Choreography Faculty of the Music Academy of Latvia.
Stop Time(2008) is the first dance I staged for the exam in ballet dancing in the Music Academy of Latvia. The dance is made in modern rhythms in the style of Show Dance. It seems to me, this is what the youth like. The dance is performed by the dance studio “Visage”, which is my favourite one (the pedagogue Yelena Grizane).
Mountain (2006) and China (2007) are the performance of Yelena Grizane, in which I participated being a dancer of her dance studio “Visage”.
