Henny Jurriëns Studio – Drop-in classes
About
At Henny Jurriëns Studio (HJS), we offer a professional environment for dancers to continue their training and exploration. Our open classes are intended exclusively for dancers with professional-level training and are taught in English to accommodate our international community.
Year-Round Schedule
From Monday to Saturday, we run two daily classes—ballet and contemporary—throughout the entire year. On Saturdays, Gaga/Dancers is offered as the contemporary class. During holiday periods or when intensive programs are scheduled, the class timetable may vary.
Ballet
All ballet classes feature live piano accompaniment by professional pianists, adding depth and musicality to the training experience. Each week, a different teacher, whether a local professional or an internationally recognized guest, brings a unique perspective, offering a dynamic approach to technique and artistry.
Contemporary
Contemporary classes encompass a variety of techniques and styles, including Urban Contemporary, Countertechnique, Improvisation, and Floorwork. Next to the regular contemporary styles, we are currently also exploring Jazz classes. As with ballet, the contemporary program benefits from a rotating roster of both local and international teachers, ensuring a fresh and diverse training experience.
