The Founders of Dancecyprus aspire to provide a permanent, professional company to uplift and entertain our audiences and to inspire dancers and choreographers to believe they have a future in this country.

Dancecyprus has the following aims:

• To perform a repertoire in a variety of styles. The repertoire will also include performances in which part of the program will be music only.
• To encourage artists to be inspired by Cypriot heritage and culture, thus developing the company’s Cypriot identity.
• To create new works.
• To promote performance opportunities for professional dancers and musicians from Cyprus and abroad.
• To extend audiences by providing easy access to a broad spectrum of dance.
• To develop understanding and enjoyment of dance by imaginative programming, lectures, lecture-demonstrations, informal talks, interviews, etc.
• To act as cultural ambassadors abroad.
• To cooperate with other charities where appropriate.
