Dancer

Dancer is a Copenhagen-based skate brand founded in 2018 by Hjalte Halberg. Famed for his part on the Polar Skate Co roster, Halberg has turned his hand to the creative direction behind his own brand, and Dancer offers up light-hearted, playful designs, bringing Scandinavian minimalism seen in cities like Copenhagen to skateboarding. Dancer produces high-quality skate apparel made in Europe and the US using eco-friendly fabrics and materials. With 100% organic cotton T-shirts, heavyweight hoodies, ripstop belted pants, and embroidered caps, Dancer blends durability, comfort, and style. Halberg routinely produces cider in his downtime, and this appears to inspire some of his designs for Dancer, which frequently feature an apple motif. The brand is relatively new to the NOTE roster but is already one of our favourites.

About Dancer

Dancer is a Copenhagen-based skateboarding brand bringing Scandinavian minimalism, sustainable craftsmanship, and creative expression to the world of skateboarding clobber. Founded in 2018 by pro skater Hjalte Halberg, along with Anton Juul and Kevin Walter, Dancer is built on a shared passion for art, Nordic design, and high-quality clothing. Their tagline, “Enjoy and Keep Dancing,” represents their open-minded, free-flowing approach to both skateboarding and clothing.

Dancer Skate Clothing

Dancer’s collections reflect their European roots and commitment to quality. Their T-shirts and hoodies, made in Portugal, are crafted from 100% organic cotton, ensuring premium comfort and long-lasting durability. Their five-pocket canvas pants and ripstop belted bottoms are designed with skateboarding in mind, offering relaxed silhouettes for ease of movement and everyday wear. Every Dancer piece is thoughtfully designed and responsibly produced, making it a standout in the world of independent skate brands.

Beyond clothing, Dancer is deeply connected to Europe’s skateboarding community, working with local artists, creatives, and underground scenes. Their hand-drawn graphics, animations, and DIY-inspired designs set them apart.

Dancer’s Team

Dancer operates with a unique, inclusive philosophy, avoiding traditional skate teams in favour of a loose-knit crew of Copenhagen-based skaters and artists. Familiar faces like Ville Wester, Karsten Kleppan, and David Stenström frequently appear in Dancer’s skate edits, including “AJ's Thrash,” “Woke on Coke,” “A Weekend in Jylland,” and “Topkwaliteit.”
