Danskompaniet Spinn is a professional dance company based in Gothenburg, Sweden. They are passionate about the art of dance and about challenging stereotypes regarding what dance is and can be. It is about different bodies with different functions and new ways of creating and presenting dance art. In their world, everybody is welcome. It is not about how many pirouettes you can do, but what you want to express with the pirouette that you do.
