Introduction
From 2 to 14 July 2026, Julidans brings the best of international contemporary dance to Amsterdam's stages, with bold choreography from leading and emerging makers.
Julidans is Amsterdam's international contemporary dance festival, programming adventurous, often striking work from choreographers around the world across the city's theatres for two weeks in July. It's a festival for the curious — expect the contemporary and the unexpected rather than classical ballet.
Why visit
If you're drawn to bold, physical performance, the programme is a chance to see international dance you rarely catch otherwise. Book ahead through the official site.
Practical information
Tickets & venues
Performances are at venues across the city. Buy tickets per show through the official site; popular productions sell out.
Good to know
Most work is non-verbal contemporary dance, so language is rarely a barrier — check the programme for run times and venues.
