Elements of Freestyle
ISH DANCE COLLECTIVE
(the Netherlands)
Directed & choreographed by Marco Gerris
Breakdancing, inline skating, skateboarding, freestyle basketball, BMX riding and freerunning!
A spectacular mashup of urban sports and art!
Elements of Freestyle by ISH Dance Collective is a thrilling, family-friendly adrenaline explosion that keeps you on your toes from start to finish. Filled with awe-inspiring stunts, gravity-defying daredevilry and exquisitely delicate moments, it’s about the critical seconds that make a complicated trick successful – the perfect skill, the perfect focus, the perfect freedom.
ISH Dance Collective is one of the Netherlands’ frontline dance companies of the past two decades. Taking over the Tampere Hall Main Auditorium with a display of seamless harmony, excellence and poetry in motion, the team helmed by choreographer-director Marco Gerris guarantees their first visit to Finland will be both unbelievable and unforgettable.
”Prepare to never look at your bike or skates the same way again!”
