Stimuleringsregeling Eigentijdse Dans
Met deze regeling ondersteunen we dansfreelancers in de uitoefening van hun beroepspraktijk, door een bijdrage in de huurkosten voor repetitie- en montageruimte in Amsterdam. Je doet je aanvraag via mijn.afk.nl. Begin 2027 opent de regeling.
For whom is this subsidy intended?
The Stimuleringsregeling Eigentijdse Dans (SED) is intended for dance freelancers, such as choreographers and dancers, with a demonstrable relationship with the city.
You can therefore apply if your professional practice is based within the municipality of Amsterdam, or if you live within the municipality of Amsterdam. Rental spaces must also be in the municipality of Amsterdam. Weesp is also part of the municipality of Amsterdam.
To determine whether you have a professional practice, the AFK uses a 'beroepsmatigheidstoets' (professionalism test). This professional aptitude test is carried out by the AFK and is valid for four years after it is issued. You fill in the questions for the beroepsmatigheidstoets together with your application.
What amount may I apply for?
You can apply for a minimum of €2,000 and a maximum of €3,000. Each dance freelancer can submit one application. You can use this amount for the rent of rehearsal and montage spaces in the municipality of Amsterdam. To this end, you must enclose a rental agreement with the application.
