SoulCypher Dance Company

SoulCypher: Connection through Hip Hop
SoulCypher is a dance company and movement rooted in the raw energy of hip hop culture. 

Led by Ruben 'Chi' Verhoeven, artistic director and impressionistic choreographer, SoulCypher strives for connection, innovation, and growth. Based in Arnhem, the foundation builds a sustainable community through dance performances, hip hop festivals, and talent development.

With his bi-cultural background, Ruben bridges tradition and modernity, East and West. 
His work explores themes such as identity, duality, spirituality, and pressing social issues like polarization and heritage. 
Ruben blends the energy of hip hop with the refinement of theatre, creating unique experiences that bring people and art forms together.

SoulCypher questions and deepens the essence of hip hop through projects on topics such as technology versus the human body, heritage, and the visibility of the Asian community in the Netherlands.
