More than dance

Contemporary dance for daredevils and connoisseurs

Boundless imagination, storytelling in motion and hypnotic techno. NDT is so much more than dance!

NDT has been committed to the innovation and development of dance for 65 years. What began as a rebel group has become a progressive and internationally renowned production house. NDT presents emerging talent, classics and big names.

 

Discover the endless diversity of dance

No dance without music?

Bombastic classical music, soundscapes, Ravels bombastic Bolero or alternative rock by Placebo? The choreographer decides what you will hear during the performance. Sometimes the dancers make their own beat, sometimes there are recordings that are played and sometimes… there is live music.

A must-see if you like music? Falling into Shadow is partly accompanied by The Dutch Ballet Orchestra in The Hague.
