ND 2021

After a year of livestreams and lockdowns, we meet again and #dansmetmij is once more the motto of Nederlandse Dansdagen.

An invitation to audiences, makers, companies, programmers, amateurs and educators to collaborate on experiencing dance in all its manifestations. When putting together the festival program, we remained true to our mission and worked from the following important criteria: sustainability, quality and innovation
