Aalborghus Gymnasium introduces dance as an elective subject

Aalborghus Gymnasium will become the first school in North Jutland to offer dance as an elective subject starting next school year. The curriculum is designed to combine practical movement with theoretical study, including dance history, theory, and analysis.

Lecturer Kirstin Godsk, who studies dance theory at the University of Copenhagen, will help shape the instruction. The program aims to integrate the body into the learning process, allowing students to create their own choreographies while exploring dance as an artistic and cultural expression. The school is also working to establish partnerships with local dance schools in Aalborg to provide students with broader perspectives on the dance community.
