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 audience 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 dance performances and produced festival PÅ TVÆRS 2024, where integrated dance, choreography and art are in focus.
We offer members, partners and all other interested parties our multifaceted activities on a weekly basis.
