We are a body in motion. We are an encounter. We are DanceConnected – a new independent production collective bringing the energy of contemporary dance and the power of connection to Galaxie. We see dance as a language that unites people, disciplines and everyday life. We believe in its ability to create space for sharing, dialogue and transformation. We do not seek boundaries, but possibilities.

DanceConnected began to take shape in 2024 out of a desire to support a vibrant and open dance scene. We initiate projects that respond to the place, the time and the communities – both locally and beyond. We create space for innovation, interdisciplinary and international collaboration, and for connecting independent artists with the public. We see dance as a means for reflection as well as shared experience.

At the Galaxie cultural station, we develop our program in close collaboration with other Galaxie partners and the independent arts scene. We respond to the unique character of the space and the needs of the people who live here. We prepare dance performances, artist residencies, workshops, movement interventions, discussions and unexpected encounters – for everyone who dances, creates, is captivated by dance, or is just beginning to discover it.

We are an open platform for children, adults, individuals and groups – for everybody that wants to move. Our goal is to engage diverse communities, promote inclusion and bring fresh energy to the shared cultural space. Together with our partners, we help transform the former multiplex into a vibrant cultural centre. We believe that dance has its place in this Galaxie – and it is here that we discover it together.
