The Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company is a contemporary dance ensemble under the artistic direction of Ioannis Mandafounis. It develops, presents and teaches dance with the desire to bring people together, inspire them and get them excited about dance.

The Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company unites contemporary thinking and dance tradition by experimenting and rethinking and developing traditional ideas of choreography. Ioannis Mandafounis' understanding of dance is unmistakable: the application of the methodology he has developed brings a dance and choreographic result to the stage that is improvised but appears planned. This empowers the artists and creates a shared process between the dancers and the audience.

The Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company is at home at the two residency venues HELLERAU - European Centre for the Arts in Dresden and the Bockenheimer Depot in Frankfurt am Main and regularly tours as an internationally sought-after ensemble. It offers a comprehensive educational and mediation programme with the aim of facilitating cultural and aesthetic experiences regardless of origin, socialisation, education, age and physical condition.
