Organisation

Marco van der Noordaa

After visiting a few balls in Vienna, Marco thought: why can’t this be done in my hometown Amsterdam? He decided to take the bold step and organized the first ball in 2019 in Arti et Amicitiae. It was an immediate success. We are now four editions further and he looks back on a very successful and sold out ball in 2024 in De Duif on the Prinsengracht. The preparations for the 2025 lustrum edition are in full swing,

Maja van Eijndthoven | Niek Koopmeiners

Maja danced in the ball opening during the 2023 edition and in 2024 she has become co-organizer of the Amsterdamsch Galabal. Maja calls herself an “initiator with a passion for dancing and culture”. She runs her own company Maja maakt meer in the cultural sector. Besides that, she has earned her spurs in student dancing, including as president of student ballroom dance association USDV U Dance. Maja is still an active dancer and is of great value in the team with her experience in event organization.

Niek is co-organiser of the Amsterdamsch Galabal since 2023. This means a great amount of experience has boarded the organisation. Niek is a high level dancer, knows his way around the Dutch ballroom dancing scene and is a council member of the Dutch National Dancesport Federation (Nederlandse Algemene Danssport Bond, NADB). As co-organiser, Niek will be responsable for everyting around dance and music during the ball. Also, he will be concerned with promotion of the ball in The Netherlands and abroad.
