Svitanček means little Svitan. It was created in town Svidnik (Slovakia) in 1999 as younger brother of the older dance group Svitan. The leader and the head choreographer is Mgr. Viktoria Husarova, Dip. Dance teacher. The members are children from 6 to 15 years old. They dance especially in couples. They present the ballroom dances standard and latin. They present folk choreographies too.
      Svitanček consists of two separate groups: Junior Svitanček (6 to 9 years old children) and Senior Svitanček (children from 10 to 15). There are 24 members, or 12 couples, in Svitancek (both groups).
      Children’s dance group Svitanček celebrate 10-th year anniversary in 2009. In this year children introduce to public own theatro-dancing tale called Cinderella’s story.
      The members during the years take place in competitions in Slovakia in formations and also as couples. They can prepare 60-90 minutes own program. That means, the small dancers are ready to present their talent in choreographies and programs abroad, too. They showed their program in Poland and Czech Republic.

      Cinderella’s Story is the first own theatro-dance project during the 10 years of its existence. It is three acts - 100 minutes long dramatization dance story – tale called Cinderella’s story.
      The story describes Cinderella´s life from her childhood to her marriage with the Prince. We can see her happy life with her mother, than her poor life with her stepmother and stepsisters. But she is kind and nice.
      A witch helps her to get to the ball, where she becomes the star and she fall in love with the Prince... The performance is full of colour costumes, the historical and present dances and music, too.
      Children act near 20 characters, dance more than 20 choreographies. There are more than 30 historical and popular melodies. Historical dances like quadrille, polonez, waltz, etc complete the ball atmosphere. Because it is story for young people, there are modern choreographies, too. You can see samba, rumba, macarena, blues and the show dance.
