Open classes at ICK
At ICK Dans Amsterdam - Space for Dance Art, you and other local residents are introduced to dance and movement in an accessible way. The morning is dedicated to open dance classes for everyone aged 16 and up. No experience is necessary, so you can just join in. It is good to know, however, that the classes are taught in English.
During Double Skin/Double Mind, you will be introduced to a method by choreographers Pieter C. Scholten and Emio Greco. You will explore the language and logic of your own body and develop a greater awareness of movement, imagination, and the choices you make. In We Dance Together, a guest artist from ICK will introduce you to their own working method and creative process.
Browse through the media library
The media library is also open to visitors all morning. You can browse publications on contemporary dance, view dance photography, study, work, or discuss what you have just experienced.
