10 YEARS!! We have been lucky enough to have most of the Freestyle Community in the Netherlands and many other top dancers from all over Europe, America… across our floor at least once over the years. We have watched you all graduate with dance degrees, we have seen you on big podiums, television, commercials, theater, magazines, catwalks… You have grown up to be the event organizers yourselves, teachers, writers, producers, choreographers, and more. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!! - - - - - To celebrate, we are teaming up with the Urban Matterz Festival in Helmond (FREE entrance and only a 4 min walk from Central Station).
