THE DUTCH DANCE DAYS
This year, the Dutch Dance Days landed in Maastricht for the 25th time. Especially for this special anniversary, Dutch dance was celebrated in a grand way. In theatres, at special locations throughout the city, and from online platforms, but also for the first time from the 'Danstent' on the Vrijthof – an interactive stage in the heart of the city. Under the motto "Dance with Me," over 100 activities brought together the public, creators, companies, amateurs, and professionals to celebrate dance in all its forms. From classical ballet to urban, from renowned companies to the next generation of choreographers, from theatre to film and events for a young audience. This year, dance was experienced like never before.
