Refugee Project Maastricht X Nederlandse Dansdagen
Circles of Dance

Following its energetic first edition, Circles of Dance returns to the festival. Join us in celebrating unity through dance, created in collaboration with Refugee Project Maastricht.

This event brings people together through the shared language of movement. Simple traditional circle dances from around the world invite us to connect, celebrate, and move as one. No experience is necessary—just the openness to reach out to one another and be part of something greater. The well-known Dutch-Turkish choreographer Rutkay Özpinar grew up with circle dances and will lead a workshop this afternoon, serving as the connecting link between all the dances.

Whether you're a refugee, a student, a local resident, or just curious, this is a time to come together, get moving, and celebrate the richness of our community.

Walk-in from 1.00 PM.
