About ISH Dance Collective
ISH has been bringing hip-hop dance and urban sports to the theater for 20 years. In the performances we connect these disciplines with traditional art forms such as ballet, theater and classical music. This is because we believe in interesting crossovers. ISH is a collective of dissenters and makes dance from elements that not everyone would immediately label as dance. ISH Dance Collective targets a broad, young and diverse audience. Exploring new paths and investing in young generations is deep in our DNA.
In addition to performances, there is the ISH Academy, ISH Community and ISH Talent with programs focused on children and youth, new professional talent and the hip-hop community. ISH Dance Collective recently opened the new location Podium Lely in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, where various activities are given a stage.
