Dansk Danseteater for Børn: JOSEPH_KIDS 2026 is a festival of contemporary dance for young audiences and families, held in Copenhagen, the Danish capital, from 25 to 28 November 2026. It is built around the idea that children can meet dance on their own terms, through performances that are playful and imaginative.
What to expect
The festival is organised by Copenhagen's Danish Dance Theatre for Children, and its programme is aimed at younger viewers and the adults who come with them. Rather than a single show, it is a gathering of dance-based work, so a visit can be as short or as full as you like. Families planning a cultural outing will find it a natural choice for a few days in late autumn.
Why visit
- It introduces contemporary dance to children in a form made for them.
- It suits families, school-age audiences and anyone curious about dance for young people.
- It gives a reason to spend time in Copenhagen during the last weeks of November.
Because the event runs over four days, you can plan around the rest of your stay in the city, combining a performance with other things Copenhagen has to offer. Check the festival's own listings closely before you travel, as details of individual performances, times and tickets are not set out here.
