Musikhuset, Bora Bora and Danish Dance Theatre are repeating last year's success and inviting the whole city to dance. Dust off your dancing shoes and join in as the festival takes over Musikhusparken for the second time.
Aarhus Summer Dance is the city’s two-day dance festival with a packed programme of events, and you’re invited.
Over the course of two days, you can enjoy performances by the Danish companies Dansk Danseteater, HIMHERANDIT Productions, DON GNU and Mirko Guido, as well as Cia Concorda from Portugal, Parini Secondo from Italy, Antero Hein from Norway and Land Before Time from Sweden. In addition, there will be showcases by dance schools, as well as children’s activities and workshops featuring Nordic dance, folk dance, line dancing, K-Pop, parkour, skipping and more.
What’s more, it’s all completely free.
The detailed programme for this year’s festival will be published at a later date.
