Classes in our studio

Our studio program has activities for children and young people who love breaking, house, hiphop or street dance, or who just want to have fun dancing and moving. At ISH Academy, we teach not just skills, but we help you find and extend on your own creativity and talents­– that’s why we call it ‘creative movement’ classes. Is ISH Academy someting for you?

Coaching and lessons

During the lessons, you will develop skills according to the ISH idea. You come into contact with different styles and forms of movement. This will help you learn how your body works and discover your own dance style.
ISH Academy teachers give assignments, devise exercises and help you develop your skills and creativity. A lesson lasts 1.5 hours. Before the break, participants are taught one dance style. After a short break, a second discipline is taught by a different teacher.
