The experience makes a world of difference to our residents and staff, awakening all senses and emotions. The energy the dancers bring is radiant to such an extent that the experience stays in body and mind long after. Thanks to the sweet coordinators and dancers who enter the house with humility, empathy and understanding for the resident group. You are all stars and we very much hope to see you again next year.
Carina, Head of Lions Neurocenter, Copenhagen.
The students were particularly impressed by how the dancers' movements and emotional expressions went hand in hand and helped to tell a story. Expressing yourself - also with facial expressions is often something that is difficult for our students, so it was very instructive to see. Thank you very much for the experience and we hope to see you again next year.

We are and were so excited that you wanted to visit us. It was fantastic to have to the opportunity to reflect about dance as a form of expression, and we would love to visit again!
Cecilie, teacher at Kie's Efterskole
There were several of us who were very moved to see and hear you. How beautiful it was to see the dancers and really impressive that they could dance so beautifully and coordinated with so little space. We would very much like to say yes if you find time in your calendar to stop by another time.

We had a beautiful start of the week with a visit from the talented dancers from the Copenhagen International Dance Festival to wake up our senses!

It inspires the children. They become aware of bodily movements and feel like dancing themselves.
