Dance Health Finland is a non-profit organization established in 2000 to promote the health and wellbeing of students and professionals within the performing arts. 

DHF aims to bridge the gap between the science and practice and help bring the Dance Science and Dance Medicine into the daily professional practice and education of both circus and dance. In all of the seminars and events we aim to bring together the artists and educators with the healthcare professionals, to share knowledge and enhance mutual understanding to benefit both practices. DHF serves the field to educate, to act as a platform for sharing information and generate healthier and more sustainable practices within the field of circus and dance.
