The Netherlands took part in the first Eurovision Dance Contest in 2007. The couple representing the country was chosen on 4 August 2007. Alexandra Matteman & Redmond Valk won the televoting and the jury's votes and performed the Cha-Cha-Cha and Rumba in London. The Netherlands came twelfth after receiving 34 points from 7 countries. The Netherlands is one of only two countries never to finish in the top 10, the other being Sweden.
Due to poor results, the Netherlands withdrew from the planned Eurovision Dance Contest 2009 in Baku. The Third Eurovision Dance Contest has been cancelled indefinitely.[1]
