Dansens Hus was inaugurated in 1991 and is located in Folkets Hus at Norra Bantorget in central Stockholm. Between January 2023 - June 2025, the entire building was renovated and during the renovation, Dansens Hus has been based at Elverket in \u00d6stermalm. On 2 October we celebrate the opening of our newly renovated theatre building at Norra Bantorget, but already in September we start the activities on our Studio Stage.<\/p>\n
The organisation was established in 1989 as a foundation by the seven founders.\u00a0The Royal Opera House<\/a>,\u00a0The National Theatre<\/a>,\u00a0Gothenburg Opera<\/a>,\u00a0\u00d6stg\u00f6tateatern<\/a>,\u00a0Dance Centre,\u00a0<\/a>Dance Museum<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Sk\u00e5ne Dance Theatre<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dansens Hus is mainly financed by public funds and receives its operational funds through the budget bill. The other major contributor is the City of Stockholm.<\/p>\n Operations are conducted in Folkets Hus in Stockholm. There are three stages: Blackbox, Studioscen and Stora scen. The main stage in Dansens Hus has a total capacity of 782 people, including space for 8 wheelchairs with 8 companions. Blackbox has an audience capacity of 140 seats. The number of seats will remain the same after the renovation.
