Dancing at DéDé Dance is for everyone. Whole generations went to dance ballet as small children and still dance here. For example, our ages vary between 1.5 and 62 at Danceballet. Urban we teach from age 10. There is always a class and level that suits you. And so always a group where you dance with your peers. We also adapt the exercises and dancing accordingly. That way there is challenge every time, but you never find it too difficult.
Go wild with urban dance
Hip-hop, Afro and street dance: it all comes together at urban dance. The style is known for explosive movements and fast footwork. An energetic and tough attitude complete the dance. Dance rhythmically, smoothly and fluidly to urban music at DéDé Dance.
Practical information
On the registration form you can read back that the lesson fee is €30.50 per month up to 18 years of age and €31.50 per month from 18 years of age.
There will also be a one-time €8.50 administration fee/registration fee.
Your body needs to move freely. Therefore, most dancers wear looser clothing, such as an oversized T-shirt and hoodie. Pair it with sweatpants or leggings, you decide. The only thing we recommend are sneakers with grip.
Cool tip: DéDé Dance has its own clothing line. For example, we have cool leggings and sweaters that look perfect with an urban outfit. Our teacher will be happy to tell you more about it in class.

Time for some really good dancing!
Once a week you go all out dancing. Together with the instructor, you will first repeat the steps from previous lessons and work on new moves. For 10 weeks, a new dance will take center stage each time, so you will learn great choreography step by step to the latest music.

Danceballet and Urban are all about dancing with your girlfriends. You always stay in your fun group dancing, regardless of your level. For girls seeking more of a challenge, there is the demo team. But they too continue to dance cozily in their regular group.

All children may participate
Leergeld focuses on preventing the social exclusion of children from families with minimal financial resources, by enabling these children to participate again in indoor and extracurricular activities. Tuition money provides opportunities for children ages 4 to 18 to participate in indoor and extracurricular activities.
These may include activities for children in the areas of education, sports, culture or welfare, such as joining school trips, music lessons or joining a sports or scouting club. Leergeld thus offers these children a springboard, allowing them to flourish, develop knowledge and skills and gain self-esteem.
You can also dance at DéDé Dance through Stichting Leergeld.

There is no need to worry about the class being too easy or too challenging. Our dance instructor adapts each lesson to the group and stays flexible. Is it going too fast? Then she will give you some extra personal attention. Is it too easy? Then she will happily pick up the pace.

Having fun and working hard
Urban dance is not full of rules and structure. It's okay to be looser, chill and relaxed. We also continue this atmosphere in our classes. A joke in between, a quick chat and then on with the dancing is just fun. It's really about having fun. However, that does not take away from the fact that you walk out of the room sweating every class. In fact, urban dance can be called a real workout.
DéDé Urban is a style if you don't like rules and structure.
Work towards an awesome urban choreography.
In 10 weeks you work toward a complete choreography. Step by step, you learn a little bit each lesson. Eventually everything comes together and you have mastered complete choreography. Of course, you want to show off the result to everyone. Invite your parents and friends to the viewing class and perform in front of a real audience.
More attention
Everyone can make a slide to the right. But not everyone can do this rhythmically and fluently. Urban dance is all about the right flow. So in the lessons we pay a lot of attention to this. When a movement is still a little stiff, we take extra time to practice. This is how you will eventually master the true urban vibe.
Lightning-fast footwork
In one second, your feet have to make a lot of movements. And not only your feet, but also hands, arms, shoulders and head. This speed is characteristic of urban dance. This, of course, takes some time to learn. Especially indicate when things aren't going well or you don't understand the dance steps. Our dance instructor likes to give you personal attention so that you keep up well with the rest.
Isolation exercises
The essence of urban dance
When you move your neck to the right, the trick is to move your shoulders in the opposite direction. For that, you have to learn to move body parts separately from each other. You practice this with isolation exercises. You may only move one body part at a time in this process. This is how you learn to figuratively release your hips, shoulders, chest and head from each other. And that is the essence of urban dance.
Isolation exercises and boot camp are part of the warm-up. That way we keep muscle soreness to a minimum. While warming up, you also practice urban movements, such as lock-in and slides. You will see these moves reflected in the choreography you will try out that class. That way you become familiar with the movements and pick it up faster.

Train your fitness
Moving to fast rhythmic music takes a lot of your energy. Building up good fitness is therefore important. We'll help you with that, of course. Each class we challenge you in a short bootcamp. We'll train your endurance with push-ups, planks and squats. Also, these exercises contribute to your muscle strength. Don't panic; the bootcamp lasts no longer than 10 minutes.
Freestylen
Urban dance is inseperately linked to freestyle. You are therefore given the space to dance spontaneously, as your gut tells you. Above all, let your creativity run wild. Nothing is too crazy! Are you starting with urban dance? Then you don't have to freestyle right away. Do it at your own pace and take your time. When you are ready, so are we.

A household name for 42 years
From Dinky Dancers to DéDé Dance. Because of the growing enthusiasm for this particular form of dance ballet, the dance concept grew to 32 locations. For the past 42 years, the dance school has been a second home for many girls. Owner Deyonne van Dam took over from her mother and founder Marionne and still manages to maintain that family feel.
Get excited about our dance teachers
Your dance teacher knows exactly what Danceballet or Urban is all about because she herself started out as a dancer at DéDé Dance. Our special 2-year in-house training program gives young girls and boys the opportunity to teach themselves. And this is handled quite professionally. Would-be teachers are taught about didactics, teen and child development, and how to teach adults and young adults, and receive internships with fellow teachers so that they will soon be confident in front of the dance class.
If you love dancing, the right dance instructor is the one who motivates you.
