A leading and renowned dance school in the Colmar region. Cathy Wroblewski started classical dance under the eyes of her mother Coco Wroblewski (founder of the school) at the age of 6. After a classical training, Cathy was introduced to modern jazz with Matt Mattox (world-renowned dancer, choreographer and teacher) at the Jazz'Art school in Paris. All this is complemented by tap dancing classes and an introduction to Indian dance and tai chi! This mix of techniques now feeds Cathy Wroblewski's teaching methods, in a good mood and with respect for everyone's abilities. Since 1981, Cathy has been teaching classical dance and modern jazz to children from 4 years old as well as teenagers and adults. She also runs contemporary dance and floor bar classes, modules specifically dedicated to seniors as well as private classes for future brides and grooms who want to master the subtleties of waltz or salsa. Special mention to the room where the classes take place: clear and calm, it is equipped with a beautiful wooden floor and an efficient ventilation system in summer. Cathy is passionate about her job and manages to pass on her passion to her students, it's a gift. Finally, it should be noted that each year the Wroblewski dance school presents a performance that gives students the opportunity to perform in public while participating in choreographic and staging work.
