Mailand Movement Studio

A space for dance, movement and body-aware practice in Malmö

Fall 2026Explore Schedule

Our Philosophy

Movement becomes meaningful when it is met with attention, patience and honest practice. We see movement as a way to understand ourselves, connect with others and stay curious about what the body can do. Mailand Mvmt is a place to learn, explore and be challenged, supported by thoughtful teaching and a committed community. A place to return to, deepen your practice and feel more at home in your body.

I always leave Nurtan and August’s classes with more curiosity and a feeling that there is more to explore. They create a safe space to go deeper, be challenged and discover movement in your own body.

Hugo

August is a very pedagogical teacher. Complex concepts are broken down into smaller pieces, making it possible to take in one step at a time, even as a complete beginner.

Gustav

Nurtan has a rare ability to truly see each person in the room and meet them where they are. Her classes focus on what is often overlooked: musicality, feeling, details and the foundation behind each step.

Tyra

Nurtan and August are both passionate dancers, and it shows in their choreography and way of teaching. We have grown so much through their pedagogy, knowledge and the calm they bring into the room.

Movement

August

In Movement Class, we work with a variety of tasks, exercises and games to develop the way you move.

You will build strength through range, improve balance and coordination, and learn to organise your body in more detailed ways. The class draws from gymnastics, dance, groundwork, acrobatics and somatic practices to create a well-rounded movement practice.

With a playful and attentive approach, the class invites curiosity towards the body and how we move.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of previous experience. You will work with tasks that match your level and receive individual feedback to support your progress.

For you who: like to move, want to develop different physical qualities and are curious about exploring movement in a broader way.

Choreography

Nurtan, August, Ellen & guest teachers

A choreography-based class for dancers who want to develop their technique, musicality, movement quality and personal expression.

Throughout the course, we work with material rooted in streetdance, commercial, hip hop, experimental movement and related styles. The class gives you space to deepen your understanding of choreography, train with more awareness and explore different ways of moving.

The focus is on growth, presence, detail and expanding your range as a dancer.

Choreo Class is offered in two levels: intermediate for dancers with some previous experience, and advanced for experienced dancers who want to be challenged further in their practice.

For you who: have solid dance experience and want to train in a supportive environment with high-quality teaching, clear direction and inspiring teachers.

Dancer in movement

Streetdance

August

Sign Up

In this class, you will explore the grooves, bounces, basic steps and routines that form the foundations of Streetdance. The class is relevant for beginners and experienced dancers alike.

Streetdance is an umbrella term for styles such as Hip Hop, Locking and House. This class works with the core components and foundational movements of these styles, while paying attention to how they are felt and coordinated in the body and how they relate to the music.

Rhythm, musicality, connected movements and flow are some of the qualities you will develop in this class. Ultimately, the aim is to become more comfortable and free when moving to music — to dance.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of prior experience. You will receive instructions and variations that match your current level.

For you who: want to learn or strengthen your Streetdance foundations and express yourself to groovy music.

Heels Foundations

Nurtan & Sofia

Sign Up

A class for anyone who wants to build strength, stability and confidence in heels — whether you are completely new or already have experience.

Unlike many traditional heels classes, the main focus here is not on “sexy” choreography. Instead, we build the physical foundation that allows you to move safely, strongly and confidently in heels.

The class begins with a longer warm-up inspired by yoga and Pilates. We work on strength, mobility, posture, balance, foot and ankle stability, and body control. From there, we move into technique exercises in heels, including walking, lines, weight shifts and sometimes shorter choreography sequences.

The goal is to find confidence through technique, strength and presence — not through trying to look a certain way.

For you who: want to feel stronger, more stable and more confident in heels, with focus on technique, body awareness and control.

About Us

Together, we bring over 30 years of teaching experience, professional performance backgrounds, and adult lives dedicated to movement. We wish to help our students build real skill, confidence, and trust in their bodies.

Our why

Mailand Movement Studio was created from a love and curiosity for movement.

We wanted to build a space that is not limited to one form, but a place where movement can be explored with depth, quality and care.

For us, the studio is personal. It is an extension of our family, our experience and the practice we have built our lives around. A place created on our own terms, shaped by what we believe movement can be.

We are here to create a space where people can practice, connect, explore and expand.

What we believe

We stand for honest practice, without the pressure to perform or promise of a finished result.

We believe confidence grows through knowledge, experience and honesty. Through showing up, doing the work, understanding your body better and allowing the practice to unfold over time.

Our role is to offer tools, direction, motivation and support, while giving each person space to take responsibility for their own process.

Mailand Mvmt stands for quality over quantity, community over prestige and teaching that puts the student at the centre.

The Studio

We want the studio to feel like a second home.

A place people want to return to and where they can feel closer to their body, more present in themselves and stronger - both physically and in life.

We want people to leave class feeling inspired, challenged and filled with new ways of exploring movement.

We wish for our studio to feel welcoming, grounded, professional and human. A space for commitment without pressure. Challenge without judgement. Growth without the need to be perfect.

Testimonials

August är grym på att lära ut, har en imponerande inlyssningsförmåga med spontana övningar som klassen verkar behöva men framförallt skapar han en trygg plats för mig att utforska och utvecklas i. Under Augusts streetklass så utvecklades jag mycket i min teknik men framförallt växte min dansglädje som jag är evigt tacksam för!

Petter

Jag har varit både på Augusts workshops och klasser och har upplevt dem som mycket pedagogiska. Svåra koncept bryts ner till beståndsdelar och man får möjlighet att ta till sig en pusselbit i taget, även om man är helt ny.

Gustav

Båda Nurtan och August är passionerade dansare, vilket märks i deras koreografier och sätt att lära ut. Vi har utvecklats enormt genom deras pedagogik, kunskap och lugn som finns i deras danssal

Elsa & Hilda

Jag började hela min dansresa hos Nurtan januari 2020 och efter 6 år försöker jag fortfarande ta hennes klasser när jag får chansen. August blev del av min dansresa några år senare men även han har lämnat ett fortsatt avtryck på hur jag närmar mig dans och rörelse. Jag har aldrig lämnat en klass med Nurtan eller August där jag känner mig klar med koreografin eller rörelse generellt, och detta är för att jag alltid lämnar deras klass med en ökad nyfikenhet och en känsla av att det finns mer att utforska, att gräva djupare. Nurtan och August delar en djup förståelse för rörelse och är väldigt duktiga på att hjälpa andra människor utforska rörelse i den egna kroppen genom deras ledarskap. Detta både genom musikalitet, dynamik och känsla inom dans men också hur olika typer av rörelse och sensationer känns i ens kropp. Exempelvis genom locomotive classes osv. Speciellt om man vill pushas utanför sin comfort zone i en trygg miljö. Utan dem hade jag inte varit den dansaren eller personen jag är idag och fortsätter utvecklas till. De har lämnat ett stort avtryck som jag tacksamt kommer ta med mig. Ord kan nog inte beskriva allt de gjort som positivt påverkat mig, så om man funderar på att ta del av deras mentorskap och klasser tycker jag att det är helt rätt steg att ta!

Hugo

Jag har tagit Lillys klasser i många år nu. Främst heels men även street och girly hiphop. Trots att jag är betydligt äldre än de flesta på klasserna ( i 50-års åldern) har jag alltid känt mig välkommen och uppskattad på klass. Stämningen är varm samtidigt som klasserna är väl strukturerade med ett tydligt mål. Jag kan varmt rekommendera hennes klasser.

Sara

Det som gör Nurtans klasser så speciella är hennes förmåga att verkligen se varje person i rummet. Hon möter alla där de är och förstår vad varje individ behöver för att utvecklas och växa. På hennes klasser läggs fokus mycket på det som många andra lätt glömmer bort. Musikaliteten, känslan, de små detaljerna och grundtekniken bakom varje steg. Det finns alltid något nytt att lära sig, oavsett nivå och hennes klasser erbjuder ständiga möjligheter till utveckling. Utöver att vara en fantastisk förebild inom dansen har hon också lärt mig mycket om dansbranschen och vikten av att hålla fast vid det som är viktigast för mig med dansen. Dans handlar inte bara om steg eller prestation, utan om genuinitet, community och att ha en plats där du får uttrycka allt du känner. Nurtans klasser är helt i linje med detta och skapar en trygg miljö där alla får möjlighet att växa och hitta sin plats i dansens värld 💗
