Dance at the park

Dalton Jansen - Bite the Bullet

Raw energy meets urban poetry: A compelling blend of hip-hop and contemporary dance with a fierce edge.

Indringende mix van hiphop en moderne dans met een stevige bite

In a time of growing division, rising choreographer Dalton Jansen explores connection, empathy, and moments of light amidst the dark—together with seven dancers. This powerful urban performance marks the second production from NEXT, an initiative by Conny Janssen Danst that gives a talented mid-career choreographer the opportunity to create a compact work with the company’s dancers each year.

Let yourself be moved by pounding feet, driving rhythms, and a message that demands to be heard.

Niek Wagenaar - Slipping Under

Addictive desire, raw resistance – a duet of confrontation

In Slipping Under—an intense duet by choreographer Niek Wagenaar—power dynamics within a relationship are brought into sharp focus. Two exceptional dancers from Conny Janssen Danst navigate the tension between longing and resistance, dependence and constraint. It’s a dance about the things we crave, even when we know they may pull us under.

Originally created during Wagenaar’s residency at HUIS Conny Janssen Danst, the piece returns to the stage this summer!
