27 years of dance, dance, dance!
Since 1997, the city’s one and only professional dance theatre represents the cutting edge of contemporary dance. The Hällä Stage is home to a continuous spectrum of dance pieces that light up, move and inspire audiences of all ages from generation to generation while reflecting our core values – collaboration, co-creation and inclusiveness.
MD keeps on providing contemporary dance for all ages, grounded in movement, blooming with emotion –putting smiles on people’s faces and bringing tears to their eyes.
2024 marks a celebration of artist & audience interaction at MD, as we provide you with more chances to learn about the creations and creators of contemporary dance. Stay tuned for upcoming meetups, behind-the-scenes tours, audience discussions, courses, workshops and much more.
