What is Ice Hot?
Ice Hot Nordic Dance Platform is a collaboration between five Nordic dance organizations, which biannually present the best of Nordic dance during on of Europe’s largest dance platform. Both emerging and established names of Nordic contemporary dance and choreography is showcased to presenters, programmers and other professionals from all over the world.
The aim of Ice Hot is to increase international touring and other working opportunities of Nordic artists, and help our communities to share ideas and connections. As the Nordic countries share a lot of economical, social and cultural structures as well as values, we find it fruitful to collaborate in order to strengthen the dance ecosystem in our countries. Ice Hot also aims to be a forerunner in sustainable dance promotion and in organizing sustainable platform events.
