10th Contemporary Dance Platform

The Dance Platform succeeds in revealing the richness of creativity, imagination and determination of the choreographers, as well as the hard work and skills of the dancers all of which enable Cyprus Dance to succeed and prosper. It opens, at the same time, a window of opportunity for both creators and dancers to overcome linguistic and geographical boundaries and thus to become ambassadors in the International Cultural scene.

The Dance Platform contributes tremendously to the progress of Dance in our country, by exposing works by our artists and various dance groups in the domain of contemporary dance, which, although a relatively new art form, has gained many fans over the nine years of the Platform's existence.

The 10th Dance Platform is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the republic of Cyprus.
