General information

This two-week, intensive, summer course welcomes students from a diversity of artistic and academic backgrounds, who have deep interests in dance and dance studies. Based on dancing taking place in Copenhagen in July 2025, the course is structured as a mixture of participant-observation of social dance (e.g. Danish Folkdance, Line dance, Salsa or Argentine Tango), audience experiences of theatrical dance at different venues (e.g. Royal Danish Ballet or Dansehallerne) as well as lectures and seminars at the University campus. In the classroom first-hand experiences, on-site analyses, and critical readings are entwined to enhance specific knowledge, skills and competences in dance studies. While being limited by dance forms and genres performed in Copenhagen July 2025, the course encompasses and addresses a diversity of theoretical, analytical and historical perspectives - acknowledging that dancing always is entangled in historical and transnational contexts.
