Julidans 2026 brings international contemporary dance to Amsterdam

If you want an indoor culture plan this week that is more special than a regular film and less dependent on Dutch dialogue, Julidans is a strong Plan Ahead pick. The international contemporary dance festival spreads performances across Amsterdam venues.

• Time and place: the official site lists Julidans 2026 from 2 to 14 July in Amsterdam, with 26 productions across multiple venues.
• Best for: film, theatre and dance lovers, plus expats who prefer performances where language is not the main barrier.
• Before you go: choose a specific production and check venue, price, availability, and any language or surtitles information on the event page.

Hokimi field note: for a dance festival, venue distance and running time matter as much as the title; weekday evenings can be easier to book than weekends.
