| Improv for Dance Enthusiasts (IDE) Improv for Dance Enthusiasts educational formats support the development of personal, social, and cultural awareness competencies which manifest through teaching/learning within inclusive, diverse and safer spaces. We stand for inclusivity and transparency towards our participants and create an open learning environment for both beginners and experienced dance enthusiasts to share the passion for dance. The collective formed in 2020 and is run by four foreign artists living and working in Iceland: Janosch Bela Kratz, Linde Hanna Rongen, Magdalena Tworek and Yelena Arakelow.
