In an impressive metal house, the breakdancers of The Ruggeds move, collide, balance and constantly challenge one another. Their explosive mix of music, acrobatics, humour and dance reveals just how unbreakably close and intimate a chosen family can be.

You have family and you have friends - but what happens when your friends truly become your family?

The Ruggeds have known each other since their teens. Growing up together, sharing countless hours of training, travelling and dreaming, they’ve built a family bound not by DNA but by loyalty, shared experience and a fierce drive to create.

In Between Us, they invite you into their house, their world, their rhythm. On stage stands a striking metal structure where the dancers move, collide, balance and lift one another. You witness what drives them, how their dynamics work and the invisible threads that tie them together.

With an explosive mix of music, acrobatics, humour and dance, The Ruggeds deliver a show bursting with energy while leaving space for intimacy and recognition. 'Between Us' is their second large‑scale production, following the success of 'Adrenaline' (2017), which took them from the Netherlands to London, New York, Denver, Toronto and San Francisco.
