Dance classes in Limassol for children
Alena Gray Dance Studio has been teaching children's dance in Limassol for more than 10 years, with over 1000 students. Classes for ages 2.5 to 16, taught in Russian and English at Masterland, Spyrou Kyprianou 48.
What we teach
Rather than a single narrow style, children learn a broad foundation: classical basics, stage and contemporary dance, floor work and elements of folk dance. The programme is built on the "Rhythmic Mosaic and Stage Assorti" methodology and moves each child from simple to complex through play.

- 2.5-3.5 years - first steps in dance through games
- 4-5 years - core choreography elements, musicality and coordination
- 5-6 years - more complex combinations, artistry and expression
- 6-7 years - serious choreographic training across styles
- 7+ years - in-depth technique and preparation for competitions

Frequently asked questions
What is the best age to start dance lessons?
Around 3-4 years works best: the child is ready for group work but still experiences the lesson as play. We also take toddlers from 2.5 in a shorter, fully game-based class.
What type of dance is best for kids?
Start with general children's choreography rather than one narrow style. It builds posture, coordination and rhythm, and after a year the child usually shows you which direction suits them.
What is the minimum age for a dance class?
2.5 years in our studio, in a dedicated toddler group.
Which languages are classes taught in?
Classes are taught mainly in Russian, and our teachers also speak English, so children from English-speaking families settle in easily.
