From 1 January 2009 onwards, choreographers Krisztina de Châtel and Itzik Galili aim to launch a new dance company in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Dansgroep Amsterdam plans to present itself as a contemporary dance company which on the one hand focuses on the artistic development and continuation of the work of the two choreographers, and on the other hand aims to develop and perform new dance productions and projects by the artistic directors, guest choreographers and young creators. Dansgroep Amsterdam launches its first season in March 2009 with Fier!
 
Fier! presents Dansgroep Amsterdam its first production: a combination of dance and visual arts, existing and new work by its artistic directors and guest choreographers. Together with Monique Duurvoort and Mark Baldwin, de Châtel and Galili offer a programme based on quality, diversity and topicality. Fier! offers a view into the future of Dansgroep Amsterdam, where the best of contemporary dance will come together.

Fier! will be premiered on the 26th March 2009 in Theater Bellevue in Amsterdam.
