About this studio
København Danser Studios is a drop-in dance space in Østerbro, Copenhagen, designed for dancers of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. The studio occupies a large, bright space on the second floor at Nygårdsvej 5a with huge mirrors and a sprung floor—equipment that supports both technical training and creative exploration.
The core program centres on three main areas. Ballet classes cover technique and repertoire at all levels, from beginners to advanced, and include live piano accompaniment. Contemporary classes blend guided improvisation, technique, phrasework, floorwork, jazz, and afrobeat. Separate sessions offer GAGA technique and Body & Mind meditation and mindfulness to complement physical training with mental clarity and well-being.
Workshops form a vital part of the programme. The studio hosts individual workshops throughout the year and week-long summer intensive workshops open to all levels. A key partnership with København Danser Festival brings internationally acclaimed companies and artists to Copenhagen each year; when these artists perform in the city, they also lead workshops in the studio, giving local dancers direct access to innovative voices in the global dance scene.
The studio also runs a residency programme. Choreographers work in the studios on research projects and show their work on Fridays at 4pm at the end of each residency period. Recent workshop offerings include the Sutra, SONOMA, and Mindfulness workshops, as well as sessions with artists like Bobbi Jene Smith.
Beyond classes, the studio curates 'Experiences'—events that blend dance with film, talks, lectures, and intimate showings designed to deepen connection with artists and the art form. The studio is available for rentals on hourly, daily, and weekly rates, fully equipped with sprung floors, mirrors, sound systems, and natural light.
