EURASIA DANCE PROJECT INTERNATIONAL NETWORK ETS, directed by Stefano Fardelli, is a global non-profit association and one of the world’s largest dance networks. Functioning as a cultural bridge across five continents, the project links Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific States, and Central America.
Since the foundation of the Network, EurAsia has been supported by the Europe Union Delegations, German Central Government, Italian Embassies, Italian General Consulates, Italian Cultural Institutes, Alliance Francaise, Délégation General Wallonie Bruxelles, Swiss Development Cooperation, Centre Culturel of Senegal and also by other governments and institutions, both private and public.
EurAsia creates a professional ecosystem where art, human rights, and education meet. Our network provides a platform for dancers and choreographers of all origins to access the highest levels of the global dance scene.
It enables them to study abroad and spread out their culture, share their experiences, giving them access to artistic residencies, meetings, shows and different dance opportunities.
EurAsia is the first dance network ever that is taking care of the education, in the dance field, at the professional level, of the talents coming from all over the world, giving them the chance to proceed in this career.
We travel around the world with our programs and auditions, selecting local talents, in difficult countries because of their socio-political-economic-religious conditions or because they are facing wars.
EurAsia is the first network ever that combines art, human rights, education, safeguarding the cultural heritage in only one huge project involving hundreds of different people, cultures, countries, continents and more.
EurAsia is creating the first generation of professional dancers, within the contemporary dance field, in several countries around the world, changing forever the dance history of those regions.
HOW TO ENTER THE EURASIA COMMUNITY:
EurAsia Auditions On Tour and Stefano Fardelli´s workshops allow students coming from far to take auditions for the biggest European dance academies partnering with us, without flying abroad. The students selected win a EurAsia Scholarship, from 30% to 100%, granted for all the 3 years professional program plus a Scholarship for a master in contemporary techniques. All the dance academies partnering with EurAsia Dance Project release a Diploma internationally recognized.
After being selected, students are part of
our community as EurAsia Students and during their three years in Europe with us, they have the chance to be chosen for extra international exchange studying programs, as well as for dance contests, artistic residencies, international festivals and other dance opportunities abroad given by all the EurAsia Partners. All the EurAsia initiatives in Europe are free of charge for the EurAsia Students and so EurAsia is taking care of all the necessary for them.
Once they finish their professional training they become EurAsia Dancers and so EurAsia´s Artistic Director extends their visa in Europe introducing them to the professional field along with the chance to work with the biggest international dance companies and some of them can also be chosen for entering the E.D.C. – EurAsia Dance Company, on tour worldwide every year.
OUR VISION:
We believe that diversity is our greatest strength. Our community is a living demonstration that different cultures, political opinions, religions, and genders can coexist peacefully through mutual respect and freedom of expression.
EurAsia is committed to the message of solidarity and peace. We aim to combine artistic excellence with the safeguarding of cultural heritage, using dance as a tool to overcome the limitations imposed by socio-economic or religious environments. We believe that freedom, passion, and love are the ultimate forces for global change.
THE MISSION:
The heart of our project lies in reaching the unreachable. The EurAsia Auditions tour through some of the world’s most underprivileged and high-risk regions—including areas where dance is restricted or punished.
Our mission is to provide opportunities and offer talented youth a path away from repression and toward a professional career. EurAsia supports students regardless of their geographical location or financial background, removing barriers to long-term career progression.
We don’t just provide training; we build careers. The journey within our network follows a clear path of growth:
EurAsia Students: once selected, students gain access to international exchange programs, artistic residencies, and festivals. In Europe, all EurAsia initiatives are free of charge for our students.
Professional Training: students receive a European-standard education, earning internationally recognized degrees that prepare them for the rigorous demands of the global market.
EurAsia Dancers: upon graduation, our alumni transition into professional roles, working with major international dance companies and the E.D.C. – EurAsia Dance Company.
A Global Network of Excellence & Inclusion: with over 2o international partners, and more than 25 countries, EurAsia has created a new “taste” in contemporary dance—a fusion where different bodies, traditional movements, and contemporary techniques meet. By bringing high-level European training to the rest of the world, we ensure that talented dancers are no longer excluded from international calls due to a lack of access to formal education.
Through this network, we are not just changing the history of dance in dozens of countries; we are giving a voice to hundreds of souls, helping them turn a distant dream into a professional reality.
