Commercial Bootcamp: Train. Create. Perform.
A long weekend to drop in, turn up, and refine your voice as a commercial dancer. This bootcamp is designed as an immersive experience where training meets creation. We start by building the performer: confidence, presence, clarity in movement, before shifting into a choreographic lab where you’ll learn and create powerful commercial work together.
Expect a focused, energising space with room to explore, take risks, and step into your full expression.

The Experience
During the weekend we stay at Boerderij Dichtbij in Wateringen, a peaceful, green escape just outside the city. Dancers sleep in their own cozy bedstee, creating a warm, intimate and slightly adventurous vibe 🌙✨
It’s a place to fully step out of your routine and into the experience.
