About

Lonneke van Leth Dans is the Hague dance company for young people, which produces, presents, teaches and experiments. Artistic domains such as text, design, music, digital images and the narrative dance style communicate with the young audience. With its eclectic dance style and indestructible stories, which are retold with humour and in smooth and contemporary adaptations, the company knows how to introduce young people to this art discipline in an accessible way. Wonder, emotions, amazement, discovering and understanding together, performances and workshops: young people experience modern dance. The multidisciplinary productions connect with the world of experience of future adults, touch on socially relevant topics and invite openness, vulnerability and reflection. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Dance, visual arts, music, text and theatre are inextricably interwoven in the work of the youth dance company. The company's idiosyncratic offering is based on the narrative and reflexive effect of theatre. Lonneke van Leth Dans appeals to young viewers' imagination, fantasy and the emotions of the body, drawing from the rich treasure trove of stories. Lonneke van Leth Dans believes in the power of dance for young people and wants to turn everyone into a dance lover. ​ We create performances for primary education, secondary education, special education and secondary vocational education. Every school year, approximately 200 school performances are performed for 25,000 pupils.
