OPENINGS

Dansehallerne’s new, expansive festival for dance.

On August 31, 2024, Dansehallerne opened the doors to our new venue in Carlsberg Byen, marking this significant event with the launch of the new biennial festival, OPENINGS, held from September 3-8. The festival brought Dansehallerne’s stages to life with renowned international stars and strong national talents, celebrating a wide spectrum of dancing bodies: older bodies, smaller bodies, bodies of different shapes and colors. For the iconic and the surprising.

OPENINGS is an invitation to new artistic perspectives and expressions, showcasing the diversity, vision, and positively boundary-pushing nature of contemporary dance and choreography.
