Company History

Dance Anonymous, is a New York based dance company founded in September 2000. It is a community of artists from around the world, consisting of eight dancers, a costume designer and 2 choreographers. Through its residency program, Dance Anonymous invites composers, designers, directors, and choreographers to expand the company’s artistic vocabulary and enhance the resonance of the work through collaboration.

Dance Anonymous’ mission is to create vibrant and dynamic theatre that tells a story through dance. We believe in making dance accessible and emotionally engaging to audiences across borders and generations. Our community outreach includes arts education and awareness programs with a focus on children, youth and the physically challenged.

Dance Anonymous launched into the international dance community with a sponsorship from the Ministry of Education and Culture of Cyprus to tour the country with their first work, entitled “Within”. After a successful tour the company was invited back in 2002 with In the Borders of Ignorance. In September of 2004, Dance Anonymous was commissioned by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Cyprus to create their new work, “Petra: The Awakening of Myth”. This evening-length piece was performed in Cyprus at the prestigious “Kypria” festival with the participation of the Cyprus State Orchestra.

Dance Anonymous has been invited to present excerpts of their work across New York City, at venues such as Chashama Theater, Chelsea Piers, Sal Anthony’s Atrium Theatre, WAX, Bridge for Dance, Dance Space and The Elan Awards with honoree guest, director and choreographer Rob Marshall. In October 2003, Dance Anonymous self produced its work In the Borders of Ignorance, at The Duke on 42nd Street to critical acclaim.

In 2001 Dance Anonymous, in conjunction with Horeftika Vimata Association, established the first annual summer intensive dance program in Cyprus where acclaimed American choreographers and educators are invited to teach young aspiring dancers a variety of techniques, culminating in a public performance.
