About this guide
Contemporary dance in Amsterdam.
01Room for floorwork
Contemporary movement often travels further than a marked spot. A clean, even wooden surface and generous personal spacing are essential for turns, falls, lifts and floorwork.
- Clean wooden surface
- Unobstructed travel lines
- Controlled temperature and ventilation
02Best CanDance fit
Orange Studio is suited to small creative sessions and coaching. Purple Studio gives larger groups more travel distance; Main Hall supports full-company rehearsals and performance layouts.
03What to confirm before booking
Tell CanDance about lifts, props, rosin, special footwear, filming or amplified live music before booking. These details can change the safest room and preparation.
