Studio ISH

Every week we organize accesible classes for children and young people in our studios in Amsterdam Nieuw-West. We’re kicking off again on Wednesday 2 September 2026. You can join a trial class on 2, 9 and 16 September, with no obligation, to see if the ISH Academy is right for you. Read on for more information!

Studio ISH — Dance Classes for Children and Young People in Amsterdam

Are you crazy about breaking, house, hiphop, or streetdance? Or do you simply want to move, learn new moves & tricks, and discover your own creativity? Then the classes at Studio ISH in Amsterdam Nieuw-West are perfect for you!

Develop Your Skills & Discover Your Own Style

During the classes, you’ll work according to the ISH philosophy. That means having fun through dance comes first.
