In February 2026, Holland Dance Festival celebrates a remarkable milestone: its 20th jubilee edition – a festive highlight in the 40-year history of this leading international dance festival.
From 4 to 21 February, The Hague will once again serve as the vibrant stage for a richly diverse and international programme, featuring world premieres, Dutch debuts, and renowned choreographers and dance companies from across the globe. The festival presents an inspiring mix of iconic creators and emerging talent, showcasing how dance as an art form is constantly evolving.
The full programme for the 20th jubilee edition of Holland Dance Festival will be announced soon.
Holland Dance Festival is the only international dance biennial in the Netherlands. Dance inspires and that is why we are so passionate about our work. We are proud to unleash the passion and power of dance and that we are able to connect people worldwide through dance. Ever since 1987!
Holland Dance Festival believes that dance is for everyone: for professionals and amateurs, for people with and without physical or mental disabilities, for schoolchildren and for the elderly and every age category in between. It is a festival where you can feel at home: there is something new for everyone to discover or recognise. As well as the Festival, we programme performances throughout the theatre season and a wide range of educational activities, special projects, workshops and ongoing, bespoke education programmes for groups from all backgrounds, generations and social classes.
