About Us

European Dance Association (EuDance)

Founded in 2009, EuDance fosters international collaboration and cultural exchange through the art of dance. Under the leadership of President Ms. Sophia Li and Honorary Chairman Prince of World Ballet, Mr. Malakhov, the association brings together artists from Europe, and Asia. EuDance’s mission is to bridge cultural divides and promote harmony by creating a dynamic platform for artists, students, and audiences worldwide.

As a nonprofit organization, EuDance supports intercultural understanding and offers a unique space for dancers to define and pursue their artistic goals. Partnering with arts organizations, educational institutions, and training programs, EuDance is committed to advancing dance education and providing access to exceptional international talent and training.

Since 2009, EuDance has selected talented dancers to participate in prestigious competitions, collaborating with the Beijing Dance Academy since 2012. By enlisting top choreographers, professors, and professionals as coaches and judges, EuDance has achieved notable success and garnered a respected international reputation. In 2013, EuDance became a member of the International Dancers Association.
