From and with love Battle
ISH performer Noor Jayani presents the first edition of the FROM AND WITH LOVE (FAWL) Battle on June 23: an open style battle with R&B as its musical foundation. Expect an evening filled with cyphers, battles, live energy, freestyle sessions, meaningful encounters, and unexpected connections.
The FROM AND WITH LOVE (FAWL) Battle is not just about winning. It is about how you dance with yourself, with the music, with each other, and with the moment.
This first edition creates extra space for creativity. During part of the battle, there are no standard round time limits, allowing dancers to truly respond to the music and one another.

About FAWL Sessions
The FAWL Battle grew out of FAWL Sessions, a weekly open style training night initiated by dancer and maker Noor Jayani. Every Tuesday evening, dancers gather at Het Talentenhuis in Amsterdam Nieuw-West to train, explore, cypher, and inspire one another. With live music from DJs and an open atmosphere, connection is at the heart of every session: between styles, people, cultures, and disciplines. FAWL offers space for both artistic development and meaningful encounters. A place where you can train consistently, meet new people, and continue developing your own movement language.
