Amateur Art

Besides offering a podium to a wide selection of professional companies, dancers and choreographers, Holland Dance also gives attention to the amateur dance companies and amateur dancers. During and after the festival Holland Dance organizes different activities and events for amateur dancers.

Workshops

As a part of the Holland Dance Events we organize the Holland Dance Specials: workshops wherein choreographers and dancers from the festival present their specific dance technique or method of working. This offers participants the opportunity to have a broader experience of the dance they have seen performed on stage.

WisselWerk

The Holland Dance Festival is the place where amateur dancers and the audience meet professionals, and vice versa: three choreographers are asked to prepare and rehearse a choreography with amateur dancers. The resulting pieces will be shown during ‘WisselWerk’

Dansparade

Around one thousand amateur dancers from all over the province of South Holland will dance their way down a route one and a half kilometer long through the city center of The Hague. A wide variety of original, creative and imaginative ‘ambulant choreographies’ are a guarantee for an enormous diversity in dance and a feast for the eyes of the public. The parade will conclude with a spectacular finale at the Spuiplein
