Marie Kaae (She/her) is a choreographer, dancer, curator and event producer with an extensive international experience and relevance. The body of her work is connected to house culture and dance in a multitude of ways. Since childhood Marie has worked within entertainment industry and performance art as a dancer, but found home in the independent freestyle and battle culture in Paris in 2005, closely tied to the original house scene from NYC. She’s known for being a two-time winner of House Dance forever in (Amsterdam/Japan 2015) and has spent many years focused on performance, teaching, organizing and pursuing a cultural dance life all around the world. As a cultural activist and entrepreneur, Marie has been co-founded several platforms, events and sessions including Tap water Jam (Paris), Juste Debout Nordic (Copenhagen), Divercity (Cph), Nordic Unity (2014-2017) and currently hosting the club nights All We Need together with her team of extraordinary local Dj’s in Copenhagen. More recent years her activities are centered around choreographic work in the performing arts sector and is actively addressing the need for structural changes to have club and street dance genres more included in the official art world with appropriate funding and research opportunities and has since 2022 been curating the official training programme for professional dancers in Denmark. Her work tends to evolve around the the relation between music and dance and the modern expressions of rhythmical art forms tied to electronic music and soul. Marie is a mature and experienced teacher of housedance and continues to educate the new generations in professional dance programs, in the independent scene, and at her own intensive training course Wholy Shit, which incorporates a holistic approach to the practice.
