The stage is yours<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Imagine you’re standing backstage. You can’t see the audience, but you know they’re there. Now you hear the emcee calling your name. It’s time. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Skapa dans, the choreographers and dancers of tomorrow are waiting in the wings. It\u2019s a choreography competition for young people ages 14 to 22, but also a chance for anyone interested in dance to meet and develop their stage presence through a variety of workshops. As an audience member, you\u2019ll be treated to a smorgasbord of exciting new works! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emelie Boman is returning again this year as a dancer and humorous emcee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intermission of the Year<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s professional intermission performance will be \u201cLiminal Spaces\u201d by Janne Aspvik and Markku Essel<\/strong>. Here you\u2019ll encounter dance artist and musician Janne Aspvik (FIN) and sound artist Markku Essel (FIN) in a work that curiously explores the spaces and transitions we might otherwise overlook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll be able to enjoy the intermission performance during the break out in our lobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how the contest works<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Each contestant first participates in their regional round of Skapa Dans. The winner of each regional round then travels to the national finals in Stockholm to compete alongside the other winners from across the country. The national finals will take place March 21\u201323, 2025, in Stockholm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A jury consisting of at least three figures from the dance world evaluates each participant and choreographed piece based on common evaluation criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
