SCHOOL
"Dance plus" group was founded in 1991. when they started to attend
the School of modern and jazz dance in The Cultural Center Vracar-Belgrade.
Olja Matkovic has been working in that school as a choreographer and
a ballet teacher since that year. The school was established more
than 30 years ago and it can be recognized as one of the most
respectable schools of contemporary dance in our country.

Dance education in contemporary and jazz dance has some specific
features in comparison to classical ballet education. According to
the best school educational system in the world, in this area, this
School has the similar basic principles. Children start to attend
classes at the age of eight and during the period of three years
they should learn the fundamental steps of the |
 |
contemporary dance and the basic vocabulary of the
classical ballet. That level of knowledge is called Beginers.
|
|
At the age of twelve till fifteen, when they are already familiar
with the basic steps and movements, they are ready for the next
level of knowledge - Intermediate. On that level they have to
improve the dancing techniques as they practice the more complex
steps and movements. Next level is A-level. This level is for the
students who have already passed two lower levels and they are
fifteen to eighteen years old. This means that they have
overcome the modern dance technique during the passed six years
|
(R.Laban
and M. Graham methods which are usually applied in modern dance). At
that age students start with jazz as a very specific dance form.
Jazz requires mature body, so the students must view the body as a
personal instrument, as a keyboard of infinite possibilities. They
attend jazz classes for three years. After that they can become
perfect dancers in those two areas.

Students older
than eighteen belong to the professional group with the experience
of nine years.
