About this guide

Contemporary dance in Amsterdam.

01

Room 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
02

Best 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.

03

What 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.
