DANISH DANCE THEATRE FOR KIDS

Dance and Movement for Kids inspired by Our Performances

Danish Dance Theatre For Kids invites all young adventurers aged 5–9 on a playful journey inspired by our performances. Together with our world-class dancers, we go on dreamy explorations through sensory landscapes and playful challenges. We’ll choreograph superhero duels and slow-motion flower battles, transform into imaginative dreamcatchers, and so much more – always inspired by the choreography, music, costumes, props, or scenography from Danish Dance Theatre’s productions. Each session is different, ensuring there’s always something new, surprising, and fun on the program!

Each class is built as an immersive experience where children both witness snippets of performances as an audience and engage in movement games inspired by the performance universe. At the end of each session, we invite parents into the studio to see what the children have experienced and created.

Through our children’s activities, we aim to:

• Spark curiosity and interest in dance as an art form through play, creativity, and movement
• Let children discover themselves and each other in new ways through shared experiences
• Promote joy of movement, movement sills, body awareness, and a positive relationship with their own body
• Support confidence and self-esteem through dance
• Nurture creativity and appreciation of each other’s ideas and expressions
• Empower children to see their body as a creative and communicative tool
• It doesn’t matter who comes first or who can stretch the furthest – everyone is welcome, no matter their level of dance or movement experience.

Tickets are sold in sets of three sessions.
Price: 225 DKK for three sessions
