Mistura Movement has existed since 2013 and was founded to provide a platform for Hip Hop, Semba, and Afro Fusion enthusiasts from The Hague and surrounding areas. It was established by Suleika Pauli and Selwin Fredriks, who are both still actively involved in Mistura Movement’s development today.
Mistura is the Portuguese word for mix or mixture. Mistura Movement was born from a blend of different cultural backgrounds and stands for embracing and expressing cultural diversity. In addition, we believe in the power of movement. Movement allows us to express our humanity — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Mistura Movement is a community for adults and children of all ages who share a passion for Afro and urban music, dance, and culture. Our goal is to provide a space for personal growth: a place to experience, learn, explore, and express oneself. Mistura Movement’s mission is to contribute to a world in which everyone matters and can express themselves with joy, curiosity, freedom, and a sense of togetherness.
Mistura Movement offers a wide range of weekly classes in its own dance studios. The classes are taught by dancers who are internationally recognized as leading instructors and performers. They share their knowledge with everyone, regardless of experience level, with fun and enjoyment at the heart of every lesson.
Mistura Movement is also active both nationally and internationally in the field of workshops and performances. The experience gained across many countries — from Europe to Asia, North America, and Africa — has resulted in a strong specialization in customization and cultural sensitivity. This experience shines through in all of our classes.
