About us
The purpose of the Association for Integrated Modern Dance in Denmark is to manifest
integrated dance as an art form in Denmark. To make the dance and the art form
grow and spread, so that the population in the future can experience a more diverse
body image on the Danish performance scene.
The pioneering work started in 2013 after international workshops organized by Dansehallerne.
Since then, we have created 9 professional performances and produce festival PÅ TVÆRS, where integrated dance, choreography and art are the focal point.
We offer members, partners and all other interested parties our multifaceted activities on a weekly basis.
