Dansbana! Amos Rex

Dance like everyone is watching. Amos Rex’s summer program turns public space into a dance floor open to all.

Dansbana! Amos Rex is a public installation and an open invitation to dance. Through the artwork’s Bluetooth connection, anyone can play their own music and dance. The dance floor can be used spontaneously or reserved in advance through the booking calendar.

Created by three Swedish architects, Anna Fridolin, Anna Pang, and Teres Selberg, Dansbana! reimagines the traditional dance pavilion. A dance floor with large-scale plant sculptures, together with the mounds of Amos Rex, forms a site-specific artwork open to anyone who wants to dance, practice, or perform.

During the summer, the dance floor will also host 11 dance performances, and Dance House Helsinki will organize three traditional summer dances open to everyone. All events are free.
