Nederlandse Dansdagen 2025
The Nederlandse Dansdagen 2025: A wealth of visitors and activities
With nearly 17,000 visitors, the Nederlandse Dansdagen continued to grow. The Danstent once again became the beating heart of Maastricht, where more than 5,000 people danced, participated, or stopped by to watch, because something was happening that you didn't want to miss.
At 12 festival locations, established companies, mid-career artists, and new creators showed how rich and diverse Dutch dance is. For the second time, the Sint Janskerk was renamed the Danskerk, where four different programs with various performances could be seen in one day in an intimate setting. There were also programs such as the Nederlandse Dansdagen Gala, Meesterwerken, the Open Your Mind X IBE Battle, premieres, workshops, and in-depth discussions, which attracted twice as many participants this year.
International connections were formed through the visit of students from the Arts Umbrella Academy in Canada, who immersed themselves in the Dutch dance scene by attending workshops, visiting performances, dancing in the Danstent, and showcasing their own talent on the stage of Theater aan het Vrijthof.
