‘So You Think This Is Dance’ is finally here! 🤩

After years of writing, rewriting, doubting, dreaming, and persevering, the moment finally arrived: the official Book Launch! Here’s a glimpse of an unforgettable celebration.

It became an event filled with memories, stories, dance, music, laughter, and even a few tears. From never-before-seen footage from the early days of our journey to an honest conversation about the experiences that ultimately inspired this novel. One of the most special moments was a heartfelt video message from legendary choreographer Tina Landon, whose influence has been an important part of our dance journey.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make the Book Launch so special:

✨ @roy.jonathans
✨ @albedadanscollege
✨ @darius.frenken
✨ @chandel_shennq
✨ @jade.goppel
✨ @kiratophoven
✨ @domenicafreijser
✨ @_orihana_ calcines
✨ @talita_angwarmasse
✨ @iamtinalandon

A special thank you to @theaterzuidplein and I am most of all thankful for everyone who attended and showered me with support, love and gifts.

Although this novel is dedicated to Roy, it felt incredibly meaningful to present the very first copy together to our dear friend Chantal Kik (@_misschanty_ ). For a brief moment, the three of us were reunited as the trio we once were — the friendship from which so many of these dance adventures first began. A day that never shall be forgotten . ❤️ Thank you all for being part of this journey.

January, we dance. 💫 Our 4-week adult dance courses are back, and they kick off the week of January 5.

If you’ve been craving movement, creativity, or just a spark to start the year to come… this is your sign. Each course blends technique with expression, so you’re not just learning steps, you’re learning yourself in motion.

Our teachers bring the vibe, the skill, and the heart.
You bring your curiosity.
Together, we make movement feel like home.

Ready to start 2026 in flow?

Join the dance. 💃✨
