Each year, the dancers of NDT 1 and NDT 2 organize a unique programme: Switch. An evening composed entirely by the dancers themselves, of which all proceeds will go to a charity of their choice. The 2025 edition will take place on January 18.

“We have felt very connected to Nederlands Dans Theater since 2003. At first, we were Friends of NDT for years, and then we became participants of the Fund, which is now called the NDT Patron Circle. It pleases us greatly that our contribution helps NDT and the dancers to pursue their dreams. We enjoy being able to take a look behind the scenes from time to time and to be kept informed of NDT’s developments. And, most importantly, we feel we are part of a club of friends formed by NDT’s dancers and other staff, and our fellow supporters!”
