Traditional Danish Dance
Danish folk dance is very old. In fact most dances are from around
1780-1880. That might not sound that old, but the fact is, that most other
countries has folk dances that is much younger
The Danish dances were danced by the farmers and the poor people (that's why
it's called folk dance - dances for the mass). These people wasn't allowed
to dance the dances danced in higher circles - for example the were not
allowed to dance menuette (French dance - very popular in noble circles in
the 16-19th century) and dances like that. Instead they had their own dances
which could be quite advanced. There were ring-dances, 2, 3 and 4 pair
dances, 3-person dances (if there was a shortage of men each man had two
female dancers ...), 8-pair dances, and row-dances. And, of course, single
pair dances. The dominating types are 4-pair dances and the ring-dances.
Today these dances are not danced that much. You can still meet some
variants of these to some parties, but it's getting rare. But this doesn't
mean that there ain't folk dance around anymore.
Around 1920 the old dances were almost forgotten or substituted with new
variants. Some people realized the cultural loss this would be for our
country and began to seek contact with old people who actually had danced
these dances or played the music. They wrote down what they learned and
their descriptions are today used by local dance groups, who likes the old
dances.

Danish Dance Company
Dansescenen is a
small city theatre within the authority of the Copenhagen
council and thus receives a maintenance grant from the
Copenhagen municipality. In addition the theatre’s activities
are also supported by the Arts council and various private
funds.
Dansescenen hosts the vast majority of Danish contemporary dance
performances in Copenhagen combined with guest performances from
abroad. After many years of battle to achieve a theatre reserved
just to show dance, the fight was rewarded with the first grant
in 1991 to establish Dansescenen as an independent institution.
In august 1993, Dansescenen opened its doors to the very first
production.
There are up to 130 performance evenings at Dansescenen each
year, shared by around 20 different productions. Some of the
productions are produced by Dansescenen itself and these are
divided into resident choreographer arrangements, productions
supported by the theatre council, youth performances,
international guests and festivals
The purpose of the institution is to run a theatre establishment
within the area of professional contemporary dance. The
institution should work towards profiling, strengthening and
stimulating the art of dance in Denmark through an active and
varied programme. There presupposes a close co-operation between
the relevant institutions and other theatres.
