Dance Valley Details...

The area has a rolling nearly non-Dutch geography, together with two huge concrete monuments, a climbing wall and the double disc, creating a surreal atmosphere, which is difficult to forget. The "valley" that the stage is located in provides a perfect surrounding for loud music. The boasts a lineup of top international artists and an unbelievably enthusiastic audience. Combined with a great organization team it brings a unique atmosphere which puts Dance Valley firmly on the European yearly festival agenda.

Dance Valley Festival, Spaarnwoude, Amsterdam West, The Netherlands 

There are a total of ten stages of additional entertainment. And recently there has been a greater focus on the international DJ community. The Dance Valley organizational team worked in cooperation with many international groups making this festival and ones to come have a greater global impact in the dance world. There is fourteen hours of some of the finest DJs and live acts in the business drawing tens of thousands of party people from all over the planet. This event is so big it cannot be referred to as a rave, it's just a huge party where every single person gets along.

Well we can honestly say that we would expect no less from a great country like the Netherlands. We would have to say that the party of Dance Valley certainly one of the best in Europe. The people who visit Dance Valley are relaxed and friendly a little different that some of the other party destinations that can sometimes get violent if you're not careful, perhaps the dope or alcohol synonymous with the Netherlands has something to with it, but we're not sure :)

Tickets are a very reasonable £ 30, and you are sure to have a party experience that you are not soon to forget.

Dance Valley Review...

50,000 people dancing for 13 hours around 3 massive open air stages and 15 different arenas, featuring 170 DJs from across the globe - This is Dance Valley Festival 2004.

You couldn't ask for more from a dance festival. It is set in the in a valley in the heart of a massive park on the outskirts of Amsterdam. The day was blessed with glorious sunshine and a complete ticket sell-out which guaranteed a great atmophere for all. This is the festival of love - what other festival would drop flowers and paper butterflys over the crowds from a helicopter???

The organisation of the festival was breath-taking. With 10 years of experience, the promoters UDC have thought of every little detail including building roads through the car park fields, providing dance floors in each of the marquees and offering more visuals than you would see at any UK festival.

Yoji Biomehanika, Scot Project and resident Tom Harding each played an awesome set at the HQ open air stage. Carl Cox closed the night with a massive two hour demonstration showing that he is still one of the world's most distinguished artists. The night concluded with a huge fireworks display and a highly impressive light and laser show.

With such a huge array of dance music on offer Dance Valley caters for every clubber.

This truly is the woodstock of dance.
