AkroBeat is a free weekly movement class for children aged 8-10 who love to move, dance and play. Led by choreographer and dancer Anastasija Olescuka, the sessions combine acrobatics, rhythm and music with street-dance styles such as hip-hop and popping. The focus is on energy, fun and shared achievement rather than competition: the children practise tricks and acrobatic moves, create beats with their bodies, and learn new skills together in a safe community.
The sessions take place in the church space of Kristkirken, which makes for a setting unlike most dance classes. Vicar and jazz singer Maria Kynne is also involved, bringing imagination, conversation and movement into the sessions. Anastasija Olescuka is also listed to perform at other events at Kristkirken later this month and in early December, so the venue is clearly part of her programme this autumn.
