Kindertanztheater Claudia Corti AG

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 rhythmics for children aged 3.5 and up, as well as adults. Lessons are offered at a wide range of 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 cool off in after class.

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 spectators of all ages are enchanted and inspired by the show each year. At the same time, they help between 150 and 200 students enjoy an unforgettable stage experience at a professional level. The children's dance theater's repertoire 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," "The Jungle Book," "A Christmas Carol," "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," and many more.

Many former students who no longer perform on stage support these productions as volunteers behind the scenes, together with the parents of the performing children. Without this support in hairdressing, childcare, painting, sewing, set construction, 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 stage that means the world.
