Roots Festival is a contemporary dance festival which takes place every year. It is our goal to show dance in its versatility and totality. With this festival we want to reach out to the world with our work and our vision on dance, which is:

• Creating and performing contemporary dance performances for a broad inclusive audience
• Creating and performing dance pieces with (vulnerable) youth
• Creating stage opportunities
  

The central theme of this years festival is Escapism.
