Every beat counts, and every move tells a story. Let the pulse and rhythm of experimental beats take over as top-tier freestyle dancers gather from all corners of the nation, ready to showcase their skills and fight for the champion’s title. Against the vibrant backdrop of Utrecht’s busy city center, dancers test their limits, daring to push the boundaries of movement and creativity with every step. Yet, amidst the fierce competition, the true challenge lies within: to maintain control and connection to the music under the weight of all those eyes watching their every move. An unforgettable spectacle where passion meets perseverance, and the dance floor becomes a canvas for artistic expression and personal triumph.

Una Isla
Agrupación Señor Serrano
New creation by this Catalan collective that has received the Silver Lion for innovation in performing arts at the Venice Biennale. Since we’ve failed so many times to create a “better world”, let's ask Artificial Intelligence for help this time. Will the technology we created to improve our lives help us finally design an “utopian paradise”? Or will it decide that we ourselves are the obstacle preventing us from ever achieving it?
Spelling Spectacle
Ingrid Berger Myhre
Choreographer Ingrid Berger Myhre comes back to SPRING. Spelling Spectacle is a game where three performers navigate a meticulously devised, yet playful, plan. Sparkling with intelligence and humour, they stage an attempt to look for pitfalls in logic. Should we look at what is in front of us, or see through?
tReta, a performative invasion
Original Bomber Crew
A young dance collective from Teresina, Brazil, invites us to immerse ourselves in the reality of everyday life in a Brazilian city. Rooted in sounds and movement taken from urban culture, tReta is an artistic gesture to stand against oppression and daily struggle, and cherish the moment of being together.
