The Teachers:
Patricia Cozma
Principle
Vision. Drive. Passion.
My name is Patricia and I have been a professional dancer (ballerina) for almost 17 years. I studied at the National College of Arts, collaborated with the National Opera (in Romania) and I have been an Olympic twice. Based on my knowledge and experience as a dancer, I would like to introduce your little one to this wonderful finest art -
Classical Ballet.
In January 2022 I opened the ballet studio The Art of Dance, Reading. Together with the students from The Art of Dance, we organized three ballet shows where the little ones had the opportunity to perform in front of an audience.
Also in May 2023, we participate to our first dance competition and we won three prizes: two 1st position prize and one 3th position prize.
Encouraging the child to dance on a stage gives him/her an unforgettable experience and at the same time helps him/her to control and overcome his emotions. The more he/she participates, the more his/her self-confidence increases.
The Art of Dance brings me more happiness then anything else and I would like to share this with everyone. I love working with children of all ages and backgrounds and I feel blessed to help and support them to start and develop in this art.
The main benefits of ballet are:
• Develops great physical condition;
• Enhances mental strength and focus;
• Develops a high degree of discipline in other areas of life;
• Improves intellectual development and ability due to exposure to classical music;
• It is a launchpad to learning much easier other dance types.
Sending your children to my dance classes, you will ensure they have professional sessions with real outcomes – there will be opportunities and encouragement to attend dance contests. The professionalism, devotion, classic teaching style and passion are the key prerogatives of the ballet classes "Art of Dance"!
Pavla Racz
Assistant Ballet Teacher
There are so many things why I love classical ballet. I did gymnastics and ballroom dance but ballet won for me. I have started by first ballet steps in local ballet school which was part of local theatre.
I was lucky to work in theatre in early age and being able also earn money to help me to move to the capital and studied in Royal ballet school.
Despite my career finish I still enjoy watching different ballet productions and going to London to see most amazing performances by English Royal ballet .
