They learn movements they may not yet have mastered, including crawling, creeping, sitting, walking, rolling over, turning, swaying, and more. They also experience the joy of movement and interaction. Through these experiences, infants gain their first encounters with dance, which are important for understanding and expressing dance as an art form based on movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the sessions, adults learn how young children perceive and express dance. It is very important to respect infants\u2019 need for time and silence. Therefore, accompanying adults are kindly asked not to talk, not to use mobile phones, not to direct children by telling them what to do or where to look during the class. When given sufficient time, infants notice and accomplish things on their own, at their own pace, often delightfully surprising their parents with newly emerging abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dansema_sokio-pamokele_foto-Laura-Vanseviciene-205-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-18506\" src=\"https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dansema_sokio-pamokele_foto-Laura-Vanseviciene-205-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"141\" height=\"94\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dansema_sokio-pamokele_foto-Laura-Vanseviciene-205-710x473.jpg 710w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dansema_sokio-pamokele_foto-Laura-Vanseviciene-205-1100x733.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dansema_sokio-pamokele_foto-Laura-Vanseviciene-205-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dansema_sokio-pamokele_foto-Laura-Vanseviciene-205-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dansema_sokio-pamokele_foto-Laura-Vanseviciene-205-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dance.lt\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dansema_sokio-pamokele_foto-Laura-Vanseviciene-205-560x373.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 141px) 100vw, 141px\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>August 18, 10:00 \u2013 11:00<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Dansema Dance Theatre \u2013 Dance Class for toddlers of 15-30 months<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Studio 2, Arts Printing House<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duration: 45 minutes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dance class for children of 15-30 months and their caregivers deepens children\u2019s understanding of dance while developing their physical abilities, including coordination, balance, and flexibility, and expanding their movement skills.

Although specific movement sequences and steps are sometimes taught during the sessions, the focus is more on deeply experiencing the relationship itself. Through various contemporary dance practices, contact improvisation, partnering tasks, and creativity-encouraging games, participants learn to better sense each other and communicate through movement. The main aim of these encounters is to discover a unique couple\u2019s dance that emerges from sensitive being together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are Povilas and Dominyka Jurgai\u010diai, contemporary dance artists, performers, and dance educators. <\/span><b>Povilas: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI am a stage performer, creator, contemporary dance\/solo jazz teacher, and a dance movement therapy practitioner.
