What to expect
Starts at the barre in a classical frame, then opens out: weight shifts, floorwork, and phrases that ask you to let go of the line you just built. Bare feet or socks.
It ends on a stage
In December the season closes with a show. Real lighting, a real audience, your people in the seats.
Taking part is optional, but it's the bit our dancers still talk about years later. If you do want to be in it, there's a small participation fee, around €10, covering costumes, photos and video. Your teacher will tell you the exact amount well before you have to decide.

True movement can't be separated from the moment it's made, and everything the dancer feels in it. Without embodiment, movement becomes mechanical, an empty shell. I love observing the differences between people and bringing a body to the point where it clicks and moves freely.
Good to know
Which level is mine?
New to a style means beginners, whatever else you've danced. Your teacher will tell you after the first week.
If I stop partway?
Registration covers the full course. In exceptional circumstances we can give a credit towards another Tribes service.
Does the show cost extra?
A small fee for costumes, photos and video. We aim to keep it around €10, and it's announced in advance.
Is the show required?
No, it's encouraged but optional. Tell your teacher if you'd rather not.
If I miss a class?
Courses build week on week, so missed classes aren't refunded. Teachers may share a recording.
Can I switch courses?
Sometimes, depending on availability and timing. Email discover@yourtribes.nl as soon as you know.
How do I book a course?
On the website, at yourtribes.nl/courses. Your spot is then secured for the full course.
