Dance Valley returns to Spaarnwoude  near amsterdam holland for the 15th edition of the seminal dance music festival on Saturday 11th July 2009.   The Dutch Festival attracts the worlds top DJs and Dance Acts

Fifteen years ago a new festival was born. Between the hills of Spaarnwoude recreational area the Woodstock of Dance arose. We called it Dance Valley. A place where all the different styles and variations of dance music could converge into one spectacular experience. On Saturday 11 July we will celebrate the fifteenth edition of this festival at this special place where fantasy meets reality…

Dance Valley will immerse you with a complete festival experience. In the Breeding Ground there’ll be plenty of opportunity to create, smell, play, taste, discover, feel, and have a great time while doin’ it. Here’s you’ll find the renowned “What’s Happening Here?” area which will make you wonder where you and where you can go. Be encapsulated by the fierceness of the Dum Dum Trailer Park. Be stunned by the super-star-surprises of Gary Global and his Gary’s Galaxy. Do it, feel it & taste it all at Dance Valley Festival.

Dance Valley is about more than just having all the great DJ’s in one festival. It means one place where people from all walks of life come together to share their passion for dance music. It means always hoping for a sunny day (and only being disappointed a couple of times). It means constantly losing your friends and finding them again when you didn’t expect it. It means being surprised and delighted every time you turn around.  It means being surprised by the unexpected. It means discovering something you didn’t know before but actually really like. It means something that can open your mind. It means a field of enjoyment at your feet. It means your own place where fantasy meets reality.

This year there will be extra attention for all the things that make a festival a festival. High quality food courts with a diverse and exciting menu. Special area’s where you can let your own creativity flourish. Surprises at the most unexpected moments. And new musical talent that can bend and shape the genre you love like you’ve never heard it before.
