Dance Theater Pikkarainen

Dance Theater Pikkarainen is a children's and youth dance theater founded by Ritva Schorin in the early 1980s. In 2015, we decided to start operations again. Footlight has been one of the leading dance schools in our country since 1984. We operate in Helsinki and Espoo. Our goal is to provide our students with great experiences in the art of dance. Our school is known for its extensive performance activities, as we have several different dance groups, such as the Show Group Five Steps, the Irish dance group JigIt and our youth group, which consists of students from our EK groups.

Taiga decides to go out in search of the sun: On the way south, Taiga makes a lot of new friends: foxes, lynxes, and reindeer. You can even find the sun and the girl will survive the cycle of the year. The sun does not get lost but always returns when spring comes.

2015 Pinocchio

Dance Center Footlight revives the activities of children and young people Dance Theater Pikkarainen on the Pinocchio dance tale. Performances 13 and 14.6. at 6 pm Theater in Narri (Sörnäisten rantatie 31). The work has been choreographed by the teachers of Tanssikeskus Footlight: Taina Schorin-Keltto, Amel Sihvonen and Katja-Maria Taavitsainen, and as dancers we see the students of our school's EK groups.

Through Dance Theater Pikkarainen, we want to continue the activities started by Ritva Schorin in the 70's, the purpose of which was to create an active Dance Theater for children and young people in our country. Dance is an art form that is not strongly involved in state or municipal support structures. There are no facilities or houses for dancing. Dance Center Footlight is now starting to build a stage for young people dancing, where there will be no competing and no prizes, but only big wins and wonderful experiences. That is why we chose Pinocchio as our first work, a story about a doll who grows into a real boy through trials.
