We organize additional courses and camps for our special training groups during the semester. We also aim to expand the dancers’ skills to various areas of the performing arts, such as theater, music and circus. The basic element of training is to provide skill, knowledge and well-being to young dancers.

The special training group offers dancers the opportunity to perform all year round in various productions of our school. Performances are arranged in the school's student performances, smaller productions and in the annual dance work of Dance Theater Pikkarainen. The groups also act as the school’s representative team at various dance events and competitions.

Students commit to the group's activities for one year at a time, in the middle of the school year the student cannot resign from the group. At the beginning of the first semester, the student has a 14-day probationary period, after which he or she can cancel his or her participation in the group. However, a canceled student must pay compensation in accordance with the hourly rate list for the first period. Classes are located at all of our fixed locations. Participation fees for events and competitions are not included in the tuition fees. The student must have genre-specific equipment for the lessons and the student must acquire the clothing of the representative group, including trousers, a hoodie, two t-shirts and a training bag. The equipment is ordered and provided with the logo of the educational institution by the school. Each group has its own outfit.

Students selected for the groups must have training equipment suitable for each genre. At the beginning of the season, common class costumes are chosen for the ballet groups, which the student must have in such an amount that they are used during the lessons. In the ballet class the student also needs leotards and slippers. In the upper levels a skirt is also used, in the lower ones that is not obligatory.

During the tap lessons, the accessories must not interfere with the visibility of the movement, ie the t-shirt and tights / sweaters are a good outfit. However, tap shoes are needed right from the first hours.

In street dance genres accessories are freely selectable as well. We recommend dance sneakers as shoes. Shoes used outdoors cannot be worn during a dance class. Indoor shoes are often too frictional and may leave marks on dance floors. Such cannot be used during classes.
