Launch of the European Dance Company

The European Dance Company will be an independent dance company representing European ideals worldwide. Young people from across the EU will be chosen to form part of this gathering of European talent. They will work on a repertoire that expresses the legacy and traditions of dance in Europe and the European spirit of dance… a new concept which signifies the spreading of European ideals through movement.

The involvement of the Minister for Culture and Tourism of Malta, as well as representatives from the European Parliament, the European Parliament Information Office (Malta) and the European Commission (Malta) gives the event a dimension truly representative of European bodies coming together to foster culture in Europe.
