About Dansens Hus

Welcome to Dansens Hus, Norway’s national stage for contemporary dance. A place to experience, develop and talk about dance. A building for audiences and for dance art itself. A building for families and a building for dance artists. A place for people who love dance, and for people who have never watched dance before. A stage for people who want to be inspired, moved and challenged.

Hva er Dansens Hus

Vi viser norske og internasjonale danseforestillinger av høy kvalitet. Hos oss finner du et mangfold av ulike stemmer og kunstneriske uttrykk med relevans i vår samtid. Forestillingene vi viser er laget av norske og internasjonale koreografer og kompanier, fra de helt ferske til internasjonale stjernekoreografer. Dansens Hus er hele familiens hus, med forestillinger for barn fra 0 år og oppover. De fleste forestillingene vises på våre egne scener, men vi viser også forestillinger utendørs.

The essentials on the establishing of Dansens Hus

Strategi

Dansens Hus is Norway’s national stage for dance. A place to experience, develop, and discuss dance as an art form. We exist for the audience, for dance artists, and for the art itself. Dansens Hus aims to strengthen dance as an art form and to increase the audience for dance in Norway. We present high-quality Norwegian and international dance art, support and develop artistic practices, promote dance throughout the country, and work to increase knowledge and understanding of dance as an art form.

The Dansens Hus strategy for 2026–2029 was developed in 2025 following an extensive process involving the management of Dansens Hus, employees, the board, and dance artists.

Society

Dansens Hus addresses diversity, inclusion, discrimination, and racism in a number of ways. Read about our commitments and reporting procedures here.

GREAT art for all children

From the very beginning, Dansens Hus has presented dance performances for babies. The project BIG Art for Small Children/BIG Art for All Children is now in its third edition, and is an initiative from Dansens Hus to encourage the development of more performances for young audiences.

Miljøfyrtårn

Vi er sertifisert som scenehus, grønne konferanser og enkelt serveringssted, noe som betyr at vi tar miljøhensyn i alle deler av vår virksomhet. Dette gjør oss også i stand til å tilby grønne eventer

 Som Miljøfyrtårn tar vi ansvar for vår miljøpåvirkning og arbeider kontinuerlig for å redusere vårt klimaavtrykk. Sertifiseringen innebærer at vi kartlegger årlige Co2 utslipp, og har innarbeidet mål og tiltak for å redusere dette.

Organisation

Dansens Hus is organised into nine areas of speciality, or teams, which work with production, staging productions and touring contemporary dance, as well as other goals within the framework of the Dansens Hus strategy.
