Elevate Your Dance

In the aftermath of the pandemic, we started living in the multicultural neighbourhood of Kypseli near St. George's Square. With passion and love, we transformed the abandoned ground floor of the former casino on Tinos Street into an open multi-purpose space for performing arts and physical exercise. Tanzterrain studio, was welcomed and embraced by the local residents and beyond. For over three years, within this space we have created a community of people with physical practices as a common denominator - meeting, sharing, sweating and having fun.
The gentrification of the area and the subsequent housing displacement we have witnessed in recent years has knocked on our door, forcing us to seek a new home for the project.
With the valuable support of the studio community and our network of collaborators, we managed to move in March 2025 to our new space at 26 Zakynthos Street (near municipal market).
We finally found a new home for Tanzterrain! A fresh, updated and redesigned space, shaped by everything we have learned so far. A place where movement meets experience, energy and mood meets community and where every class is an opportunity to breathe, redefine and belong.
Despite the pressures and challenges, we continue to offer the same unwavering commitment to dance, to movement, to the bodies that trust us and to our communities.

Our Story

Our vision is for Tanzterrain - kinetic dance space to be a common ground for mutual exchange of knowledge, methods, perspectives and embodied experiences.

The main function of the studio is to conduct classes and special artistic education and physical exercise programs that nurture, inspire and motivate amateurs and professionals to discover their own unique identity through movement. At the same time, its main goal is to create space for intercultural research and open practice.

Our weekly schedule includes classes in contemporary and classical dance, improvisation, pilates, yoga, physical theatre, acrobatics, kung fu/tai chi and more. Classes are primarily adressed to adults, and there are also activities for children.

The venue also organises dance, theatre and therapeutic practice workshops with international and local artists, open improvisation and instant composition practice sessions, short term artistic residencies ,and hosts European training programmes, rehearsals and small scale presentations/performances.

At our venue,

we respect every body, age, gender and personality,

we challenge and redefine our ways and strategies,

we evolve, practice, share with others in the group,

together we create a safe, non-competitive environment that can promote the best side of ourselves to emerge.

No sexist, racist or other offensive or violent behaviors will be allowed.

Instead, communication with kindness and understanding is encouraged-please let us know how we can make our services more accessible to you-.

In this context, Tanzterrain is open to initiatives, proposals and collaborations with artists from various fields , educators and other spaces or organizations that carry similar concerns.
