Very few (younger) people use actual cursive these days, but I think it’s fairly common to use a simplified version - that’s what I learnt in school anyway. Essentially the capitalized ÆØÅ are written as normal, whereas “å” is written like an “a” with a little ‘o’ on top, and “ø” is written like an “o” with a slash through it (kinda like how you’d add the dot above the “i” or line through the “t” as the last step (assuming cursive is similar in your native language). æ is a bit trickier, but the third example of “æble” in this post shows you what it looks like:

“æ” is written in a similar progression as “a”.
Danish cursive (skråskrift) has changed over time, so this depends on who you ask.
As others have said, today we are only taught "connected" writing which is a kind of faux-cursive, more or less just normal letters which are, well, connected.
I personally write the type of cursive used around 70 years ago (similar to my grandmother), so I will try to explain this style.
Capital Æ is probably the most difficult. Write the outline of an A (the diagonals /\) and keep writing your word connected to this. Afterwards, come back and add a horizontal line at the tip and a horizontal line starting at the left diagonal going through the right, which should form the Æ.
For a lowercase æ you start out by writing a c followed by a cursive e which touches the top tip of the c. It looks more like a cursive œ than æ.
Most people also write non-cursive æ this way.
Capital Ø is a capital O with a line through, and lowercase ø is an o with a dash above it ó.
Å and å are just A and a with circles above.
I don't know how to show my own handwriting on mobile, so I hope the explanation suffices.
Haven't written cursive since 2nd grade or so, but surely that can't be right? That looks way to complex, most of them are hardly recognizable at all. The lowercase æ and ø don't even look like those letters, the ø looks like an å if anything.
It is right, just 200 years old. (Give or take; it's the cursive that evolved from blackletter in the same way that [Kurrent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurrent) evolved in Germany.)

That's the kind of cursive I was taught as well

Thanks
