Write Sweetly (4+)

A dreamlike hip-hop dance performance for pre-schoolers


In a playful dream world, two hip-hop dancers and a beatboxer take you on a night-time journey to the land of imagination. A delightful world where nothing is what it seems and where your dreams become reality. Colours, sounds and characters that you only encounter in the land of dreams change in time with the seasons. They come to life in this fantasy world where everything seems to float.


In Sribi Switi (Surinamese for ‘sleep well’), hip-hop dance styles such as popping, robotics, tutting and waving are complemented live by sounds, samples and music from a beatboxer. Sribi Switi is a playful performance with a universal story, inspired by both well-known Surinamese and Dutch children’s stories and songs.
