Tessa Bouzidi

Bio

Tessa Bouzidi has an incredible passion for dance and music (also as a drummer). Tessa’s dance style is raw hiphop energy, with a mix of both very masculine and feminine ways of moving. In her class she wants you to feel free, feel the music, and push yourself to grow further as a dancer (and as a person in general really).

 

Description of class

The class starts with a warm-up for the body while learning hiphop grooves, followed by a stretch to also gain some flexibility. She might pop in some ab workouts to train them muscles. The biggest part of the class is focused on learning one of her choreographies, as Tessa always aims for you to have as much time as possible to really dance and enjoy the music. With her high energy she will def make sure you sweat, train, and improve your dance moves.

Debbie huisman

BIO:

Debbie Huisman is al ruim 12 jaar werkzaam als maker, danser en docent in zowel de dans- als muziekindustrie. Muziek speelt dan ook een essentiële rol in haar leven en Debbie voert dit ook door in haar lessen. Ze is geïntrigeerd door het menselijk brein, en hoe je deze als ware door de energie van muziek en movement kunt stimuleren. In haar streetdance lessen combineert ze funky sounds en bewegingen die de focus leggen op de ontwikkeling van het ritmegevoel. Daarbij speelt het inlevingsvermogen een belangrijke rol. Debbie hoopt met haar lessen creatieve tools aan te reiken door middel van beweging, zodat de kids zich op een creatieve manier leren uiten, maar vooral plezier ervaren en energie kwijt kunnen en delen! Zelf heeft Debbie hier heel veel aan gehad als kind, en voert dit met alle liefde door. 
 
Naast haar werk als docent werkt ze als DJ en maker voor verschillende creatieve projecten.

Marlie Salomé

Bio

Hi y’all! My name is Marlie and I’m a dancer, teacher and choreographer. I mainly focus on contemporary styles with influences from other body-languages. My main goal within dancing is to dive deep into your own body and how to invest in the movement, the full body and the energy we use to create it. If people would have to describe me they’d say that I am a powerhouse with the ability to flow and float. 

I love to share hard work and enjoyment during my class. That means you will definitely sweat and be pushed a little bit ;)

But it also means you will gain new knowledge and find ways to connect the movements and align them with musicality. Within my class it is not about the shape of the movements itself but how you approach it, how you get there, how you search for it and bring it together. We will move around the space, use a lot of groove, feel grounded, have highlights in the upper body and we won’t be afraid to sweep the floor ;)

Denise Hartgers

Denise started dancing at the age of 11 at her local dance studio in the east of the Netherlands. From that moment on dancing became one of her biggest passions in life. After she graduated high school she created her own training schedule by taking a variety of classes in Amsterdam to be as allround as possible. She lived in New York City for a couple of months to participate in a training program at Broadway Dance Centre. Here she focused on contemporary and commercial styles. Her love for contemporary dance grew a lot in these years and she decided to share this love through teaching this art form. 

‘In the first part of class I focus on getting ‘into’ your body. I’ll help the students do this by giving them improvisation exercises that will spark their imagination. In the second part I focus on a choreography.

In my classes I really try to make sure people feel safe and free. Free to make their own choices in dance and free to be able to express their feelings. Whenever I teach a choreo I encourage my students to really listen to the lyrics and dive into the emotion of the song. I invite them to think of situations in their own lives that could possibly resemble that emotion. It’s so beautiful to see when people surrender to their feelings and really dance it out. It gives me goosebumps. 

If the things I just said resonate with you or if you ever just feel the need to dance to sad (and sometimes happy) songs… Please feel free to join my class. I’d love to have you here!’  

 

I  also teach Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a dynamic practice that invites to you to connect your breath to every movement. As you flow through the poses, you’ll not only build strength and flexibility but also develop a deeper connection to yourself. This class is designed to energize your body, calm your mind and nurture your soul. I would love to have you here!

Claudia russo

BIO:

From Italy, I moved to The Netherlands in 2022. I’ve been dancing since I was a kid, studying the street dance styles (specially HipHop , House, Popping, Locking), getting more focused on HipHop and House. Doing so, I built solid bases, knowledge and technique in my dance, without forgetting the importance to enjoy dancing and express this through my movements.  I participated in different performances, contests, shows and music videos. 
 
Class Description: 
I started to teach when I was 17 years old and my classes are focused on foundations, steps, groove and technique, in order to give the tools to my students to create their own style. We DON’T want to copy each other but we want to get inspired and be ourselves! I strongly believe that freestyle should be the main and most natural way to express our dance, before thinking about following choreographies.
Indeed, in every class, after a fun and intense warm up, we will work on a step or concept or groove that we will try to develop. Before following me and later also working individually (of course always supported by my advice and whatever I can do to help you). Then, at the end of the class we will make a cypher: a simple circle made by all the participants of the class, where we can freely dance, have fun and put into practice what we learnt!
