News - Hurja piruetti

Our first meetings in real life 💚

A wonderful week behind full of brainstorming and creating under the creative Europe project Dance For Eco-Anxitey with Ijshaamanka, Interdansa and Caddistrict 💚

But our process and collaboration don’t stop at the walls of the project. We shared a lot off ideas, thoughts, support and knowledge useful for our everyday practices. Now we know a bit more about different Europeans dance schools and art organizations. We have also shared the Finnish system, basic education in the arts.

The project have now reached its first phase. We are happy to continue the work during the next years with this amazing team of professional souls.

Thank you also to the National Board of Education and Creative Europe in Finland!

A warm welcome to the new school year. Hurja Piruetti’s fall season is about to begin, and we’re looking forward to dancing, doing circus tricks, skating, and moving together again.

Please remember that registration is valid for the entire academic year—that is, for both the fall and spring semesters.

For dance and acrobatics in Ekenäs, the fall semester begins on August 10; the Billnäs circus and acrobatics groups start on August 17; and figure skating begins on August 25.

We wish everyone joy, success, and inspiring moments in the new academic year!

Whispers from the Castle takes the audience to Raseborg Castle and its stories through dance and circus arts. The performances are part of the Karis-Karjaa 700th anniversary celebrations. After the interval, there is an action-packed ‘Highlights’ segment.

Come and experience Hurja Piruetti’s spring performance!

Come and experience the magic of dance and circus!

Tickets: €18
Children under 6 free.
Duration: 1.5 hours, including an interval.

Hurja Piruetti’s new spring production, Whispers from the Castle, is set in the historic Raseborg Castle and its fascinating stories. In the performance, children and young people weave their own stories from the castle’s past and bring them to the stage through dance and circus arts. The production is part of the Karis–Karjaa 700th anniversary year, and through it we celebrate local history and its living heritage together. The performance also includes high-energy acts in the ‘Highlight’ section, performed by students of various ages and from different disciplines. Come and see, experience and enjoy the joy of dance and the magic of the circus.

Hurja Piruetti is participating in a new international project!

Hurja Piruetti is about to embark on a wonderful European collaboration project called D4EA – Dance for Eco-Anxiety, funded by the Creative Europe program. We are implementing the project together with three inspiring European dance organizations:

Corps et Arts Dance District (CADD), France
Interdansa, Spain
Ijshaamanka, Italy

D4EA – Dance for Eco-Anxiety responds to the growing climate anxiety among young Europeans. The project creates space for processing and validating emotions through non-verbal, creative means of expression, dance, and movement.

The project aims to strengthen the expertise of cultural actors, teachers, and institutions.

The project supports our ongoing process of renewing our sustainable development certification and, at the same time, opens up a broader discussion at the European level.

Great news, we have received project funding for the Hallå project, which is supported by Svenska kulturfonden. 💛

Hallå builds bridges between Swedish speakers and other language groups. The aim is to create authentic encounters, increase mutual understanding, and strengthen interaction by doing things together.

We believe that shared experiences create a foundation for positive attitudes and a vibrant, multilingual community.

The project will launch in spring 2026, so stay tuned! We will share more about the progress of the work here on our channels and on our website. 💫
