Next Sunday on the 14th of June Polish Dance Theatre is starting the cycle of short dance classes online in the space of the Internet.

Every day, the Polish Dance Theatre team starts their work with a class. It aims to warm up and prepare the dancer for the rehearsal. Due to the varied, rich repertoire, the training of artists is very comprehensive and extensive.

Polish Dance Theatre invites you to participate in a virtual part of its lesson and encourages you to practice together online!

And here is the necessary technical information – the premieres of each episode of the cycle will take place every day at 10.00 am on Facebook of the Polish Dance Theatre. Video clips of recorded exercise will be available for one week from the first show.

You can follow up on the event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/2278048682502309/
