During the Nederlandse Dansdagen in Maastricht, Dans Veilig took part in several programmes celebrating the power, diversity, and social impact of dance. We attended The Dutch Dance Debate, opened with an inspiring address by Mirjam Terpstra (NAPK), and The Power of Dance lecture by Janine Stubbe, exploring the positive effects of dance on both body and mind. Dans Veilig also hosted its own Q&A session, where we engaged with visitors on topics such as social safety, professional support, and shared responsibility within the dance sector. The conversations were insightful and led to valuable new connections.
Throughout the festival, we met with partners and colleagues from across the field — and, of course, enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere of the Danstent, where the Breaking Battles moved audiences with their strength and expression.
We look back on an inspiring festival that once again highlighted the resilience, creativity, and diversity of the dance community.
