CommandARTe – School of Aerial Dance and Circus Arts

CommandARTe is an aerial dance, acrobatics and circus arts school located in Budapest, Hungary. Affiliated with the Magyar Légtánc és Összművészeti Egyesület , a Hungarian association dedicated to aerial dance and multidisciplinary arts, it offers artistic and sports training primarily for children and teenagers.

The school combines the learning of aerial techniques, ground acrobatics, dance, and choreographic creation. Its pedagogical approach allows students to progressively develop their physical and artistic abilities while discovering the world of contemporary circus and live performance.

Aerial dance

Aerial dance, called Légtánc in Hungarian, is one of the main disciplines taught by CommandARTe. This practice combines acrobatic movements performed in suspension with elements of dance and physical expression. Students learn to master their bodies in the air, develop their balance, coordination, and flexibility, and perform technical and artistic sequences.

CommandARTe's artistic universe includes several aerial apparatuses, notably aerial silks, aerial hoop, aerial hammock, aerial cube, and aerial straps. These pieces of equipment are used in the company's creations and allow for the development of various forms of acrobatic and choreographic expression.

Aerial silks involves performing on long, suspended strips of fabric, executing figures, balances, and acrobatic sequences. This discipline develops muscular strength, flexibility, coordination, and self-confidence.

The aerial hoop allows for the practice of static and dynamic figures on a suspended circular apparatus. It combines power, precision, elegance, and control of movement. The aerial hammock and aerial straps offer other possibilities for physical and artistic exploration.

Ground acrobatics

The school also places great emphasis on ground acrobatics. Training sessions develop the physical qualities necessary for aerial work, including core strength, power, balance, mobility, and coordination. Students gradually learn acrobatic movements adapted to their skill level.

The choreography

Choreography is another pillar of CommandARTe's teaching. Participants explore movement in relation to music, artistic interpretation, and the creation of group sequences. This approach connects the technical skills acquired in aerial dance and acrobatics to a genuine process of stage creation.

CommandARTe's educational program is based on three complementary areas: aerial dance , acrobatics , and choreography . This structure allows students to benefit from a balanced training that combines physical preparation, technical mastery, and artistic development.

The classes are divided into several groups for children, juniors, and teenagers. Sessions are organized according to the age and level of the participants to promote progress tailored to each individual's abilities.

The professional company

CommandARTe also distinguishes itself through its activity as a professional circus-theatre company . CommandARTe Társulat develops original shows blending aerial disciplines, dance, ground acrobatics, duo acrobatics and theatrical expression.

The company's repertoire includes both short performances and full-length shows. Their creations are based on a contemporary approach to circus arts, in which acrobatic figures are integrated into staging, visual storytelling, and choreographic research.

This artistic dimension contributes to the school's identity. Students discover a world in which acrobatic technique and stage expression complement each other, encouraging creativity, concentration, discipline, and teamwork.

Personal development

Instruction also fosters the development of self-confidence and independence. Aerial and acrobatic activities require steady progress, a good understanding of one's body, and particular attention to safety. Training thus allows young practitioners to develop their perseverance and their ability to take on new challenges.

Places and organization

CommandARTe offers its courses in several locations in Budapest, including Táncosok Klubja , located at 27 Reitter Ferenc utca, and Orchidea Iskola , located at 59 Szent László út. These two venues host the various aerial dance, choreography and acrobatics sessions.

A multidisciplinary school

Thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, CommandARTe is an interesting school for young people wishing to discover aerial arts, learn acrobatics and develop their artistic sense in a structured environment.
