What to expect
One hour that moves between styles, so the warm-up rarely tells you where you're heading. Expect to be challenged technically and asked for full presence throughout. Entry is by audition.
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 connective movement cannot be set apart from the exact moment the movement is made and all that is present within that moment. All that the dancer or yogi feels, experiences, and ultimately expresses. Without the embodiment, and on a deeper level, the ensoulment of the movement, the movement becomes mechanic, an empty shell. This basic principle applies to all movement types. To me, this training has all the ingredients for an ever-changing and ever-interesting practice in which not only form is important, but also a deeper level of expression and self-development. I love observing all the differences within people and bringing the body to a state where it clicks and you can experience the full potential and freedom that your body can move within. It’s magical to me to get people to explore their maximum range of motion and regain structure in the way a body is naturally built.
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.
