The Dancing on the Edge Festival is a biannual performing arts festival in the Netherlands set up in 2007.

The focus is on contemporary theater, dance, film, music and installations. Around 10,000 tickets were sold during the last edition of the festival.[3] In addition, DOTE organises residencies, co-productions, cultural participation projects and other programming throughout the year.
