Since its start in 1995, Skånes Dansteater in Malmö (SE) has created relevant and engaging performances, from grand scale events engaging orchestra and choir to intimate, site-specific performances. The company gives 80 performances annually; in our own venue, at Malmö Opera and on tour.

Skånes Dansteater is Sweden′s largest independent dance company. We are a contemporary dance repertory ensemble presenting works by Swedish and international choreographers.
