Production Group Dance

The ISH Production Group × Meervaart Youth is a collaboration between ISH Dance Collective and Meervaart Youth, two Amsterdam powerhouses that together offer a unique program for young performers aged 12+. You create real performances, develop your own voice as a maker, and perform for audiences at the Meervaart Youth Festival and ISH's final festival.

Are you ready for the next step and want to join the ISH Production Group? On 13 & 14 June 2026 there will be new auditions again. Register quickly!

Guidance from experienced teachers

Classes are taught by a regular instructor from Meervaart Youth and guest teachers from the ISH Academy. These professional dance teachers and performers bring their own experience and energy. They give you challenging assignments, inspiring exercises, and help you develop both your skills and creativity.

Meervaart and ISH: a strong partnership

The collaboration between Meervaart Youth and ISH Dance Collective brings together the best of two worlds. Through Meervaart you receive personal guidance and structure, and through ISH you experience the creative, boundary-pushing way of dancing that is so characteristic of the collective. Registration and communication take place via Meervaart Youth, in consultation with ISH Academy.

All groups conclude the season with a performance at the Meervaart Youth Festival on 21, 22 and 23 May 2027 at Meervaart.

Made possible in part by Amsterdam Municipality, Fonds21 & ELJA Foundation.
