Dancehouse is a centre for independent contemporary dance in the Carlton North area of Melbourne, Australia.[1]

Quick Facts Address, Location ...

It was established in 1992 by a group of independent dance practitioners at the Carlton Hall in Princes Street, formerly occupied by the Carlton Community Centre. Carlton Hall, built in 1877, has a long association with dance as a venue for social dances, dance classes and dance performance.[2]

Dancehouse contains three spaces: the 104-seat Sylvia Staehli Theatre, an Upstairs Studio and a gallery (used for performances and workshops). It holds curated performance seasons and residencies for dance artists, as well as masterclasses and other events.[3]

It presents Melbourne's biennial Dance Massive festival with Arts House and Malthouse Theatre, and is also involved with the Keir Choreographic Award.[4][5][6]
