Ollerup has a long and proud tradition of rhythmic gymnastics, but has also grown to unreservedly embrace dancing. The two genres are good friends. Because they are both about movement, strength, coordination and agility. They combine technique and aesthetics, make you stronger and more at home in your body, and give you not only control over your movements, but also an awareness of the expression of your movements. In the autumn at Ollerup, you can get a taste of the best of both worlds before you choose to specialize in the spring – and there are many who benefit from it.
You will be trained, challenged and inspired by our truly talented teachers from both courses. Not only will this expand your horizons and your technique as a performer, but also as an instructor or choreographer. We explore differences and common features, and then we test them all in practice, so you become even more aware of the quality of the different movements – and which direction your training should go. We reflect, test and repeat, so you get stronger and can make an educated decision – no matter which road you choose to go down afterwards.
During the autumn, you will also have the opportunity to use your experiences during an internship at a boarding school, where you’ll take on the role of teacher and test all your new experiences and impressions on a group of young gymnasts and dancers. When the autumn semester ends, you’ll be significantly more confident as a performer, but you have also gained a new, broad teaching experience, which you can take with you either on the Dance or Rhythm line, or when you return home.
Whichever of the two worlds you come from, it’s a clear advantage to have tried your hand at both. You will find that a broader knowledge can be a deeper competence. Where the purpose, freedoms and limitations of rhythm gymnastics may be different from those of dance, its training background and techniques can strengthen your skills as a dancer. At the same time, the freedom of dance and the language of interpretation can elevate your career as a rhythmic gymnast and trainer. Both while you are here at Ollerup, and when you are done, you will realize that your physical, motorical toolbox has outgrown many others’. And, of course, you’ll get a lot of cool experiences as well – both from the gym and from the rest of our old, but young folk high school.
There are lots of opportunities at Ollerup.
