Nederlands Dans Theater (Dutch Dance Theatre) is a contemporary dance company established in 1959 breaking away from a more traditionally oriented ballet company. The new company, NDT, focused on the exploration of new forms of dance, using new techniques and open to new ideas and experimentation. In 1975, Jiří Kylián was appointed as artistic director, and over nearly twenty years, brought unprecedented recognition and success to NDT. At pressent NDT is performing choreographies by a.o. Lightfoot León, Jacopo Godani, Ohad Naharin and William Forsythe.

Nederlands Dans Theater consists of three companies: NDT I, the main company of 32 dancers; NDT II, a group of 12 young dancers up to the age of 21 and with its own repertory, and NDT III, a small group of dancers of 40+ years.
