Kindertanztheater Claudia Corti

Claudia Corti opened her dance and movement school in 1971 and since then we have been offering dance lessons in ballet, modern, tap, character dance and rhythm for children from 3.5 years to adults. Lessons are offered at various levels: from beginners to advanced to professionals.

Our dance studio is located in a beautiful old farmhouse at Rosackerstrasse 2 in Neftenbach. In summer, the children even have their own pool to refresh themselves after the lessons.

Every year in the run-up to Christmas, we present a production with around a dozen performances in collaboration with Theater Winterthur. Around 8,000 young and old audiences are enchanted and delighted every year. At the same time, they help between 150 and 200 schoolchildren to enjoy an unforgettable stage experience at a professional level. The repertoire of the children's dance theater includes dance performances and musicals such as "Alice in Wonderland", "Sleeping Beauty", "Peter Pan", "The Snow Queen", "Pinocchio", "Beauty and the Beast", "The Little Mermaid", "Snow White", "The Dark Crystal", "Jungle Book", "A Christmas Story", "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" and many more.

Many former pupils who are no longer involved on stage, together with the parents of the children performing, support these productions as volunteers backstage. Without this support with hairdressing, coaching, painting, sewing, alterations, etc., our performances would not be possible in this form. A big thank you to all the helpers for their tremendous commitment!

For several professional dancers, actors and musical performers, the children's dance theater was the first stop in their careers on the boards that mean the world.
