Dutch Dance Days

Nederlandse Dansdagen celebrates the heritage, current events, and future of Dutch dance. Every year, this comes together in the festival in October, in and from Maastricht. From classical ballet to urban and from masters to new talent: the festival showcases the full breadth and quality of Dutch dance. Check out www.nederlandsedansdagen.nl for the complete programme with workshops, lectures, performances and Club Tweak.

The programme this year focusses on dance and cultural identity. The lecture that Studium Generale organises on Tuesday 29 September on emotions across cultures, is part of this.
