Classical Ballet / modern dance
The Danshuis offers combination lessons of classical ballet and modern dance. The lesson starts with about half an hour of classical ballet technique and then dances from the modern dance technique. A great lesson for children who like to work on their technique, but who also like to dance freely. During the modern dance part, improvisation is also used, so that the children can fully express their own creativity and develop it further. Please note: all dancers aged 10-18 years are required to take at least 2 lessons per week.

Modern / Jazz
Modern dance is built on a solid technique, in which body awareness, strength, gravity and many skills of dance will be worked on. Moreover, it is a theatrical style with room for the student's own creativity. We work with various techniques, such as Floorwork and Cunningham, but there is also a lot of room for improvisation. Dancing on the ground, moving throughout the hall to tasty, beautiful and surprising music from all over the world!
At the Danshuis, the modern classes are often combined with Jazz dance. This expressive style originated in North America with influences from African dance and jazz music and has many specializations, from show jazz to modern jazz. The Urban styles later also emerged from Jazz dance. Both styles are offerd during the mix lessons. On Sundays various workshops and short courses modern and / or jazz are organized by various (guest) teachers. More info will follow. Please note: all dancers aged 10-18 are required to attend a minimum of 2 classes per week.

Hip-Hop (Street / Clubstyles)
The collective name street & club styles includes a lot of special dance styles such as: old school hip hop, new school hip hop, voguing, waacking, locking and popping and many other dance styles. The reason we place all these dance styles under the heading street & club styles is because the styles originated from the street or from the club. It is a special culture, in which respect and appreciation for the other is paramount.
At the Danshuis you mainly focus on old and new school HipHop, but trips towards club styles are also made.
A great lesson to learn these styles and also to get acquainted with the culture behind them.

Classical ballet
Teacher Rimke gives 2 classical lessons on Friday for young people from 12 years old. Dancers from the age of 16 and adults with an advanced level can follow the lessons of Nicolas or Haya. The classical ballet lessons are given according to the Russian Vaganova method. With this method you work on building up a strong technique (strength and balance), but at the same time it is also a very dancing method. You become aware of your posture, work on flexibility and strength and develop your dancing qualities and grace.

++ lessons
New this season are the ++ lessons we offer in every style: Jazz++, modern++ and classical++. These classes are intended for young people aged 12-16 who want to delve more into the technique of the different styles and who prefer a more serious work style. The lessons are therefore not necessarily more complicated than the regular lessons, but more precision is required from the dancers. Good technique makes a better dancer. Basic skills such as balance, turning and jumping will work better if your technique is more developed. This offer fits in well with the ambition of the Danshuis to approach dance as a craft and performing art.
Admission to these classes is in consultation with the teachers. Anyone who is interested can come and do a trial lesson.
We recommend dancers of the Production Group to take at least 1 ++ class per week in a style of their own choosing.

Improvisation / Composition
Improvisation is an essential part of the dance making process. It is also a great way to develop the dancer's individuality and to research new forms of movement. We find this uniqueness important at the Danshuis, which is why we pay attention to Improvisation during all classes. On Sundays a short course will be offered regularly, with attention also being paid to contact improvisation and composition. These classes can also be used to work on projects and performances.

2 or 3 Styles
Sometimes you can't choose or you like multiple styles.... Maybe you want to discover a new style. At the Danshuis, adults can follow a seasonal course in which 2 or 3 different dance styles are offered. It can be a mix of Classical, Modern or Jazz.
More info about the styles: Classical ballet is great for building up or improving your basic technique (posture, body awareness, coordination, strength and balance). In modern dance you can use your empathy and start moving. Jazz invites you to go all out and swing! The level of the lessons: level 1 (beginners), level 2 (intermediate) and level 3 (advanced).
