Tightly connected to house music, house dance emerged in Chicago and New York club scenes in the 1980s as liberating spaces for marginalized communities – mainly Black, Latino, and LGBTQ. Its vocabulary draws from African dance forms, tap, jazz, martial arts, latin dances, and more, and centers on freedom of expression. House is not just a technique; it is a social and cultural practice rooted in collective liberating experience.

Patty is a Czech dancer, teacher, and cultural curator exploring the intersection of club dance styles, research, and community. Since 2019, she has curated the Amsterdam House Dance Community where she facilitates jams, classes and labs for dancers and music lovers. In her classes she aims to create safe(r) space to make mistakes and reflect. You can expect to sweat a lot and release – we hardly every use the mirror here so you can pretend you are in a club.

Amsterdam House Dance Community strives to provide more than just classes, we talk about the history and actively invite international guests and pioneers from NYC. We always aim to stay connected to the cultural roots and cultivate the local dance community in connection to the nightlife in Amsterdam as well as creating dance events with opportunities for dancers to grow.
