GR25 PSLL - SHARE - Dance Lesson

Dance is a universal art form that transcends borders, combining physical movement with emotional expression. It enhances coordination, balance, and flexibility, while also encouraging creativity and collaboration. It has also historically had an important place in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

During the Erasmus+ school mobility, students and teachers participated in three entry-level dance lessons at a local dance school of Alimos. The sessions were led by professional dance instructors who introduced the participants to a variety of dance styles, including traditional Greek dances, basic contemporary movements, and elements of Latin dance.

The participants were prepared physically and mentally learning basic dance steps and sequences, practicing in small mixed-nationality groups. The instructors emphasized teamwork, rhythm, and the importance of body awareness, ensuring that everyone felt included and confident, regardless of prior dance experience.

Each session concluded with a group performance, where students showcased what they had learned. The final day included a collaborative dance that incorporated elements from all three styles, symbolizing the unity and creativity fostered during the mobility.

Students built connections and friendships through the shared experience of dance, breaking down language and cultural barriers. They developed rhythm, coordination, and confidence, while also gaining an appreciation for different dance traditions. The lessons encouraged teamwork and self-expression, providing a fun and engaging way to interact with peers from other countries. The event was a great success, leaving students inspired and energized by the beauty of movement and collaboration
