Latest news:

Dear CaDansians,

It’s that time again! Just one more week and the Red Deer will welcome us for a long weekend full of dance fun. We have some final information for you, and then we will start the countdown.

Tickets and workshops

The festival is not sold out yet; tickets are still available for all days. Were you not sure yet? Then decide quickly and buy your ticket before it is too late! There are also still spots available for most workshops that require registration. Sign up, and we look forward to seeing you in Steenwijk!

Accommodation and transport

We still have accommodation available at Hoeve Montigny, including both 3-person and 5-person rooms. And we have good news: we can also offer transport to and from the festival from this location. Were you still hesitating, but was a lack of transport holding you back? Go check the website quickly and book your place to stay.

Side Program

CaDansa is not just workshops and balls; we also have a series of extra activities lined up for you, a few of which we would like to highlight.

There is a clothing swap throughout the festival. You undoubtedly have a favorite piece in your closet that no longer suits you. Donate it, and find something nice to replace it with!

On Saturday afternoon, we have the Maker’s Market, where you can enjoy the creativity of your fellow CaDansians and buy the perfect souvenir to take home.

And finally, there is the organizers’ meeting on Saturday afternoon. This is where the festivals of the coming years are made just that little bit more special!

Camera Operator Vacancy

To wrap things up, a last-minute call: we are still looking for someone to film at CaDansa for our aftermovie. Do you have experience and are you up for it? Send an email to info@cadansa.nl and help us capture the memories of the Red Deer forever.
