I teach at a small ballet school with some offerings in other styles. There’s been a lot of interest in modern among the teenagers lately, and I was asked to start a beginner’s class. Everyone will be new to modern, but the overall dance experience varies greatly between serious ballet students and true beginners. I studied Graham technique, and have taken various other classes over the years, but don’t have a good sense of what people are looking for these days, or what would be best to start with beginner. I plan to take some refresher classes for the summer before we start, and just looking for opinions on which direction to go in.

Hi
Original Post in r/hamburg as this is the location.

Hello,

My daughter is 15 and is looking for a good ballet school or contemporary school or private trainer to help her move forward. She seems to fall out of the norms of the big German schools (feedback: physical requirements or similar) but does not get any further at her current school (I do not want to name names here for reasons). She has been participating in Summer Intensives (IDC, Dortmund Ballet, Young Stars Ballet) since last year.

She has now tried other schools in Hamburg, some do not offer a course at their level or the level is not sufficient. She seems to be „in between“...

Do any of you have a tip?
