Letter from Artistic Director

I am happy to introduce you to Master School of Dance, established in 2008.
Our vision is a welcoming and creative environment where our students have equal attention and care to learn, to be inspired, and reach their full potential.

These goals are achieved with:

  • A high quality teaching
  • The artistic environment of the school
  • An internationally recognised dance curriculum

Our qualified teachers work on the physical strengths and weaknesses of every single student in class. They are taught the great value and connect of music to dance and are encouraged to reach their full potential on technique and artistry. We encourage personal progression through team work.

Our students are trained towards dance examinations where they get dance certificates worldwide recognized. They participate to dance shows / events and to worldwide dance competitions. All of these valuable experiences are a strong base for further studies to colleges and universities in Greece and abroad also, a unique experience of the art of dance.

We will be very happy to meet you, to show you around the privately owned and well-designed premises of the school, discuss with you the dance classes offered and set a dance schedule of your interest.
