Skills that last a lifetime

More about this group →The journey
A dance journey at Ciara
What begins in play grows into the joy of dance. What is honed in technique class goes on to shine in beautiful productions and accomplished performances.
At ages 2–7
The first rhythm
Dance gymnastics and creative dance. The child discovers the language of their body through play, rhythmics and music. Movement is a child's first language, and we give it structure.
In grades 1–4
Dance friends and performances in Estonia and abroad
Children's dance, jazz, the basics of ballet and acrobatics. The first solo performance. Movement becomes conscious and precise, yet the joy stays just as great.
In grades 5–9
Performance opportunities open up
Jazz, contemporary, lyrical jazz, show dances and classical ballet. The dancer discovers their own character. Young people get to help shape the dance school.
By the end of the season
The whole company on stage
Every dance year ends with a concert performance, where everything created over the year reaches the audience. The venue changes from year to year.
As an alum
The journey continues
We have taught 1400 dancers. Some have stayed close to dance for years, some now work as dance teachers, some went their own way entirely — but all carry with them body awareness, courage and friends. And dance friends are friends for life.
An accredited dance school
Licensed by the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research, with an approved curriculum. Tuition qualifies for income-tax refunds. Systematic dance education — not simply attending classes.
A dance-science approach
Body awareness, dance science and an individual, learner-centred approach. Our teachers keep developing their craft — our teaching rests on knowledge, not tradition alone.
A dance family
A close-knit, safe community where a child dares to experiment, make mistakes and grow. Performances, festivals in Estonia and abroad, and shared experiences — a dance-school family for life.
From Tartu to the world
Ciara performs across Estonia and at international festivals. Each season the journey takes our dancers to Latvia, Lithuania or another neighbouring country.
