This troupe is made of dancers from the 236-year-old Royal Swedish Ballet in Stockholm which encourages and supports the endeavors of Stockholm 59° North. Our name reflects our roots in a centuries-old tradition of vibrant dance and an ambition to explore the world.

Among the members of the new company are some of the most prominent principals of their generation and others whose goal it is to reach that position. They all want to create a new audience for Swedish dance.

Jens Rosén, Artistic Director
