Het Danspaleis - Hal West
The mission of Het Danspaleis (Translated: The Dancing Palace) is to keep all older adults vital and inclusive through dancing and music. With our ‘Tankstation van levensvreugde’ (‘Refueling Station of Joy’), we battle loneliness among seniors.
Get ready to dance!Het Danspaleis is a traveling dance party filled with classic tunes from every decade, offering everything from rock & roll and heartfelt songs to English waltzes and merengue. With our passionate DJ, festive decor, and lively dancers, we create an unforgettable, nostalgic experience for seniors and anyone who loves to dance.
Want to dance and sing like in the old days? You are warmly welcomed at ‘Het Danspaleis’ – ADE edition.
Hal West is een lokaal podium voor nieuwsgierige mensen waar gemeenschapszin en verbeeldingskracht centraal staan. Wij stimuleren creativiteit en vernieuwing door een plek te zijn waar iedereen welkom is, ongeacht wie je bent. Met culturele activiteiten brengen we mensen bijeen om ideeën en ervaringen uit te wisselen, elkaar te inspireren en beter te leren kennen. Individuen en organisaties vinden samen antwoorden voor de dilemma’s van deze tijd. Dit doen we onder andere met muziek- en theateroptredens, spoken word, lezingen, talks, boekpresentaties, workshops en buurtbijeenkomsten.

Festival FAQ
ADE Festival tickets are sold individually by the festival event organizers, but you’ll also be able to purchase them through the ticket links on the event pages on our website here.
Not to worry! Make sure to contact the event (or their ticketing provider) you are visiting as soon as possible with as many details about your order; name, email address, amount of tickets, etc. Once they've recovered your order, the tickets can be resent to your email.
Need help to find your event's contact details? Message us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the ADE Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events.
Be aware though that there are over 1,200 events during ADE that you can enter with the Pro Pass wristband and that ADE cannot guarantee access. There is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for Pro Pass holders. This means for some of the more crowded events you have to arrive early. Once capacity is reached, we will go over in a full-for-now policy. The festival event organizer will decide when and if more people are allowed to go in.
The ADE Pro Pass is the perfect fit if you are planning on enjoying the combination of day and night events. If you want guaranteed access to a particular festival event, we advise you to get a single festival ticket instead.
We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.
Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.
ADE is proud partner of the Celebrate Safe campaign.
