Our story

Het Danskwartier Den Haag opens in September 2017. Janine van den Heuvel Damen will then take over the dance school from Joke van der Kraan. The dance school is located in the Statenkwartier in The Hague.

A good atmosphere, personal contact, lots of dance pleasure and working on a good dance technique are important to us in our lessons. Only graduate professional dance teachers work in the dance school. In this way we teach in a responsible way and we can bring students further in their dance.

In addition to the lessons, Het Danskwartier Den Haag also offers the opportunity to gain stage experience. For example, a performance is organized at least once every two years in a real theater.

In 2015 I completed the transition class preparatory course and then I started with the Bachelor of Dance in Education, both at Codarts, Dance academy Rotterdam. Since graduating in 2019 I have been working as a dance teacher at various dance schools and in (special) primary education.

 

In order to keep developing myself, I regularly follow courses and training, including the Progressing Ballet Technique course, to be able to specify the ballet technique and offer it in different ways.

 

In my classes we discover, research and develop together. How does dance work in your body and how do you enjoy dance as a person.
