After last year’s success, the Urban Dansdagen (Dance Days) are to return to Eindhoven. On 14 and 15 December, the top Dutch urban dancers will perform at Parktheater and Pand P – breakdancers, poppers, lockers, upcoming and established dance theatre performers.
Get to know the urban dance is all its forms on Saturday, 15 December, at the Parktheater. You can take part in workshops or watch short urban dance theatre shows. This year’s Urban Dansdagen will include the 18th edition of the NK Breakdance, aka the Dutch B-Boy Championships (DBC). Holy Funk’s fifth edition will also take place.
One of the highlights of the Urban Dansdagen is Johnny Lloyd’s BODY1 performance. This is a solo performance that focuses on the body’s physique. The matinee of this show will be on Friday, 14 December, at Pand P, with the première on Saturday.
Unique idea
The Urban Dansdagen are a unique concept in the Netherlands. All urban dance style are brought together on one stage. Although urban dance has its roots in the streets, the streets are no longer enough. It is in the theatre that these dance styles are getting the attention they deserve.
