Julidans 2023 is a wrap! We look back on a successful 32nd edition of the festival in which we continued to dance for 15 days at 16 venues across Amsterdam. There were 41 productions, accounting for 110 performances, by choreographers from all over the world: from Cameroon and Norway to Brazil.

-|-Matching the festival's tagline Moving Out Loud, they surprised audiences with touching performances about personal and social themes. The preparations for the 2024 edition of the festival have started. Stay up to date on the latest Julidans news by subscribing to the newsletter.
