NoDa is the only trade union in Norway for professionals active in the art of dance. The union is democratically organized and has 740 members nationwide. Members are represented by the union domestically and abroad. NoDa is a member of FIA, International federation of actors, and Nordisk Skuespillerråd (Nordic Actors Council).
The main aim for Norske Dansekunstnere is to promote and look after the member's artistic, economical and cultural political interests. Norske Dansekunstnere work constantly to secure and improve our members' working conditions, and to increase job opportunities in the field of dance. NoDa negotiates collective agreements for our members working in theatres, state funded dance companies such as Carte Blanche, public funded theatres, television broadcasting such as NRK, and Rikskonsertene. NoDa’s work can be divided into three arenas: political work, negotiations of collective agreements and protection of rights, and individual counselling to members.
On the 10th of November 2007, NoDa was awarded the Honorary Prize by Dance Information Norway in recognition of the association’s significant contribution to the field of dance.

Political work
NoDa is an advocate for members’ interests in the political arena. The association has initiated and participated in a number of actions, such as the establishment of:

• Gratis Daglig Trening (Free Daily Classes: daily training for professional dancers, in 5 regions of the country), 1988
• Danseinformasjonen (Dance Information Norway: a national information office and resource center for the art of dance, 1994
• Dansens Hus (Dance House Norway), 2003
• Financial support for independent dance groups, 2007

NoDa has contributed in giving dance a higher profile in the political arena. Recent notable advances that NoDa has spearheaded include:

2005: Dance received its own allocation in the arts budget. Important projects were assembled under one entry for dance in the arts budget.

2006: The establishment and arrangement for grants for dance and the formation of a Committee on Dance in the Arts Council Norway.


NoDa is internationally a member of the Nordic Actors Council and FIA, Federation Internationale des Acteurs. Read more about EuroFIA Dance Passport.

Norske Dansekunstnere also attend meetings internationally that deals with questions of intellectual property rights. i.e. WIPOs new treaty for performers rights and EU directives.
