VU Griffioen Dance Crews

Did you know that Griffioen has not one, but two dedicated dance crews?
Our most committed dancers from the hip hop, urban and high heels classes get the chance to take their skills to the next level by joining one of the VU Griffioen Dance Crews. They create spectacular choreographies, train intensively every week and regularly perform on stage. From festival appearances (such as the DèjaVU Festival and Amsterdam 750 Years on the Ring) to national and international competitions.

The crews work together on performances, competitions and creative dance videos, building strength, technique and teamwork along the way.

Want to join?
The new dance season starts in September, and both of our crews are looking for new dancers. Find out more below!
