The Gashouder wants to create a stage for every form of art and for a wide audience: from young to old and for every budget. A historical place that inspires and gives energy to the visitor and artist, where renowned names return and new talents develop.
The qualifications of the Amsterdam Breaking Championships will take place in the Transformatorhuis, next to the Gashouder. The (semi)finals will take place in the Gashouder.
The adress is Klönneplein 1, 1014 DD Amsterdam.
