HANS VAN MANEN - JUST DANCE THE STEPS

In July 2022, choreographer Hans van Manen turns 90. Director Willem Aerts followed an icon of the international dance world in the run-up to this milestone.

Hans van Manen's unstoppable energy is evident in all scenes. Whether he rehearses a piece with his dancers, has lunch with the National Ballet (he gives them his ballets), or whether he decides after 40 years to move to a very spacious and luxurious apartment - his respectable age is far from getting in the way.
