The Eurasia Dance Society, Washington, DC, was co-founded in 2009 by Artistic Director Andrij Cybyk and Executive Director Zenia Helbig Tompkins with the goal of preserving and promulgating the traditional dance styles of the Eurasian region. EDS includes a school system dedicated to educating and training children and youth in traditional Eurasian dance, as well as a performing ensemble, comprised of senior dancers, whose primary goal is to share traditional Eurasian dance with the community of Washington, DC and its surrounding areas. EDS seeks to improve exposure to Eurasian dance through a series of outreach programs targeted at elementary, high school, and university students, and through concert series for both children and adults. All of EDS’ programs are designed to promote cultural dialogue and exchange among the various peoples of Eurasia, and to promote understanding and appreciation of Eurasian cultures and peoples among Americans.
