In order to determine where you want to go, you need to know where you stand. An important pillar in the professional program of the Nederlandse Dansdagen is therefore the annual State of Dutch Dance, pronounced over the past 7 editions by persons with a leading voice within the Dutch Dance world. These were successively:
- 2016 | Annette Embrechts
- 2017 | Kristin de Groot
- 2018 | Ann Van den Broek
- 2019 | Jasper van Luijk
- 2020 | Lisa Reinheimer
- 2021 | Conny Janssen
- 2022 | Alida Dors
In 2023, no 8th person will be added to this illustrious line, but these 7 individuals will give a collective, but polyphonic answer to the question of the current State of Dutch Dance. What 7 burning issues are named by them?
