Summer Dance Forever Weekender 2026 | Academie voor Theater en Dans

Every year, during the first weekend of February, the intimate SDF Weekender takes over Amsterdam — a vibrant gathering rooted in house & club culture, and the place where it all began back in 2009. It’s where dancers, movers, and music lovers dive into a weekend full of battles, performances, club nights, and workshops.

This year, we’re flippin’ the script again by bringing the HIPHOP FOREVER battle into the Weekender, adding that fierce energy to the floor! And… it’s all going down in DUO-MODE, our 2-vs-2 showdown that kicks off right after the judge battles. In summer, we switch back to our classic one-on-one format.
