Level: Open to all

This opening takes place at Dankjewellness in Leiden, in an outdoor park setting. The evening begins with a short opening ceremony to arrive together, followed by an ecstatic dance where movement is free and guided by music.

The DJ set moves across different textures and intensities, from downtempo and organic grooves to more dynamic rhythms, creating a journey between grounding, expansion, and release. You are invited to move in your own way, at your own pace, in connection with the space and the people around you.

This is a space to open the festival together: to land, connect, and step into the shared experience of MoveFest.
