Two rehearsal studios called Dansklotet are also part of the venue.

Dansens Hus was founded in 1989 by seven organisations: Kungliga Operan, Riksteatern, GöteborgsOperan, Östgötateatern, Danscentrum and Dansmuseet. Its activities moved into the former Folkets hus building near Norra Bantorget, inaugurated in 1991 by education minister Bengt Göransson. The foundation's aim was to present Swedish and international dance in Stockholm and to promote dance in other Swedish cities.

The venue hosts performances by Swedish and international dance companies, giving audiences access to diverse forms of contemporary movement. Visitors experience a living scene where established and emerging artists present their work.
