Where blood flows…

De Ader is an initiative of several organizations with the aim of increasing the unity of the residents of Breda through dancing together.

We dance in a socially safe environment close to home, which provides opportunities for everyone to participate. We are also active in the public space and speak to people on the street. We are discovering that you can increase togetherness by dancing together and we share strong and intimate life stories. Because after dancing, the conversation becomes different, a little more openhearted. The Vein is inspiring and engaging for residents, creators, students and neighborhood professionals alike, working together. Watching dance, looking at the environment, participating, creating and reflecting together, give dynamism to the living environment and contribute to positive health.

Dance through the neighborhood

On June 29 and 30 and July 6 and 7, we will once again dance through the neighborhood. Discover the art and power of dancing together. Explore the neighborhood with us and see how the unknown transforms into the familiar.

In 2023, the presentation of the first phase of De Ader took place during 2 busy afternoons filled with performances, film and public conversations. The film below gives a strong impression of the process and community.

"It was beautiful to watch the dancers come out of their shell so much. How they were given a stage to express themselves in connection."

"The way you keep everyone involved and engaged. No one is alone or feels lost. And that is so important! As if you have all your senses open and are constantly observing that. You see that the group is slowly taking over. That it is not only about your own dancing pleasure, but also how to spark that in the other person."

"My wife passed away, I've only lived here for a year. I didn't know anyone and felt lonely. Now I belong somewhere, I belong to this group. And I can't dance well, but I can participate simply in my way."

'I have seen many different dance performances in my life. But I have never experienced anything like the 'Dans door de Buurt'. It was truly enchanting!'

“

'During the walk, my appreciation for the sublime use of various places in the neighbourhood grew. In retrospect, I realized how much time and attention was spent on neighbourhood exploration, determining the route and designing the music and dance 'experiences' along the way.'

“

'As a participant, I really feel that is an amazing project. I met, danced and had experiences with so many different people today. Really very valuable!

“

'You really have the power to see what makes people beautiful, you respect everyone as they are. And really, that's what makes the connection happen.’
