Hello hurja dancers and parents!
The fantastic Christmas projects have been completed and videos have been emailed the past week. A warm thank you to the dancers and teachers for the pre-filming and editing. Notify your teacher if you have not received your video via email. You should also check your spam. The teachers have with joy and warmth seen when exercises become complete video and mini-documentaries. Hopefully the atmosphere there was also conveyed to the spectators. It is good to continue from this! Happy and relaxing Christmas time to all hurjisar.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Hurja Piruetti's teacher

The DAM-U project brings together local creative talent: Youth band The Wales, vocal group SixNotes and Hurja Piruetti’s dancing youth dance groups with young videographer Linus Westerlund. The aim of the project was to create a video, in which the three dancing and musicing youth groups meet one another. The young talents developed and realised the work together with the videographer, with some extra help from Hurja Piruetti’s Artistic Director and principal Katja Köngäs, choreographer Sathis Hettithanthri, and assistant Shanti Grönholm.
The DAM-U project’s name comes from words “dans, musik, ungdomar”, that is, dance, music and youth.
The idea sparked from the corona tinted everyday and the need for local collaboration. The long remote learning period of spring 2020 proved that there is a need to do and make together, perhaps more than ever before.
The DAM-U project was funded by “Young Culture Roots” scheme Thanks to Anders Höglund, Walter Kloo, Lärkkulla (studio), Leif Wadenström, K-Supermarket Karjaa, Nuori Kulttuuri Roots. Special than you to all participants, parents and contributors who made this project possible!

Hello Hurja dancers and parents,
For most of Hurja Piruetti's dancers, the autumn season has already ended with filming and separate projects. These groups have been informed separately. Next week there will be groups of children in Karjaa and Ekenäs. Activities in school gyms have been relocated to replacement facilities. Students have been informed on Sunday, November 29, 2020 by text message and e-mail. As a rule, all groups train according to the schedule order, but the place may have changed. If you are unsure of your own group, ask your teacher directly or send an email to
The dancers and circus artists from Hurja Piruetti have been allowed to practice all autumn and we teachers are happy about that. Continue in the same pattern and remember hand washing, safety distance and face masks. A warm thank you to the students for the fall season and in January we will continue. Registration made during the autumn season is still valid for the spring season. The spring season starts at all our locations on January 11, 2020.

The Association of Dance Institutes in Finland wants to highlight Katja Köngäs’ invigorating and engaging pedagogical work in the bilingual region, as well as the artistically ambitious national and international pedagogical projects which have, among other things, lead to Finnish Ministry of Culture and Education appointing the dance school the Finnish Young Culture Ambassador -title as a recognition for the international work with children and youth.
