Dansens Hus Centre for Contemporary Dance

Dansens Hus Centre for Contemporary Dance is a centre for contemporary dance and closely related performance art from Sweden and around the world. Located in central Stockholm, Dansens Hus has two stages with 800 and 140 seats respectively. It presents around 35 performances a year and has between 60,000 and 90,000 visitors on an annual basis.

Dansens Hus was founded in 1991 and works actively to strengthen the role of contemporary dance in Sweden. In addition to performances, Dansens Hus arranges seminars, lectures, workshops and exhibitions.

In order to further support artistic development, Dansens Hus is actively searching for new ways of developing collaboration and dialogue with artists and other professionals operating within the field of dance. They aim to establish Dansens Hus as an important arena for exchange of artistic ideas by facilitating mobility for both national and international artists.
