UDC reveals 15th edition Dance Valley line up!
Artists: Read on to see the full line up for the 15th edition of Dance Valley 2009!
It was fifteen years ago when the valley at the Spaarnwoude recreational area nearby Amsterdam first emerged as the beating heart of the dance community. A lot has changed in the fifteen years since that memorable first edition in 1995, not least dance itself. But Dance Valley is still regarded as one of the highlights of the international festival season.
In presenting the line-up for the fifteenth edition it’s hard not to reflect on past successes, but Dance Valley has become huge because it has always looked to the future, homing in on new trends and putting upcoming talent in the spotlight, making each event an exciting and ground-breaking experience.
Next to the seventeen different areas spread over the whole festival grounds, UDC will highlight the special, the creative and the unexpected at the Breeding Ground. The fifteenth edition of Dance Valley will be all about the experience.
With seventeen different areas spread out over the whole festival grounds, Dance Valley presents one of its most fully featured line ups ever. UDC will also highlight the special, creative and the unexpected at the Breeding Ground. The fifteenth edition of Dance Valley will be an exceptional experience.
