In 2025, Amsterdam will celebrate its 750th anniversary, and we're marking the occasion in a big way with Let Amsterdam Dance (Heel Amsterdam Danst)! On 15 June, residents from eight districts of Amsterdam will come together on the stage of Dutch National Opera & Ballet for their own performance of In C. This ballet by choreographer Sasha Waltz treads the line between improvisation and choreography. From teenagers to seniors, and from untrained dancers to folk dancers and hip-hop artists – everyone is taking part!

To represent the entire city, each district has invited a group of 20 to 25 residents – of all ages, with or without a dance background – to participate in Heel Amsterdam Danst. Each group learns a part of In C and creates its own unique performance of the ballet.
