Due to great success, Holland Dance Festival and Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam are organizing the fourth edition of Holland Dance Festival @ The Grand on Wednesday, March 23 through Saturday, March 26, 2022. An exclusive event in the historic Raadzaal of the magnificent hotel, where haute cuisine and high-level dance come together.
The magnificent hotel Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam is once again the setting for this performance. As the former headquarters of the Dutch Admiralty and the City Hall of Amsterdam, The Grand has a rich history. The footsteps of a bygone era echo in the corridors and the rich history shows itself in the legendary service, fabulous décor and inspiring culinary propositions.
The performance takes place in the 1926-built Council Hall, with you seated at tables around the dancers. This intimate setting allows you the chance to see the person behind the dancer during the performance. The performances are danced by the Codarts Dance Company, which consists of the international top talents of Codarts Rotterdam: the hotspot for contemporary dance in the Netherlands.The challenging program not only shows the versatility of these young dancers, but is also an enchanting collage of choreographic styles. The program is a good introduction to the versatile palette of contemporary dance, with existing repertoire by top international choreographers and work created especially for the dancers. It is a contagious, high-level show in which passion and energy splashes off the stage: every year, every year different.
The dance performances are interspersed with a four-course dinner, led by master chef Raoul Meuwese. His enormous talent and continuous pursuit of the ultimate level match the high-class gastronomic qualities. Meuwese cooks according to classic French tradition, but with a modern twist. He likes “subtle flavors and not too heavy dishes. “I try to use honest and natural products as much as possible and I always go with the seasons,” he said. The celebrity chef also likes to be inspired by art and nature. “You can draw beautiful comparisons to that when thinking of dishes,” he says. He therefore firmly believes in the combination of his haute cuisine and the performances by the dancers of Codarts Dance Company: “Contemporary dance fits very well with my way of cooking, and the concept of Holland Dance Festival @ The Grand again fits very well with The Grand. I think we and Holland Dance Festival also attract a similar audience: people who love art and the good life and consciously choose artistic excellence.”
€ 117,50 p.p. incl. performance, four-course dinner and matching wines.
