What is the Cairo Contemporary Dance Center?
The Cairo Contemporary Dance Center (CCDC) is an
independent space for Contemporary Dance in Egypt that
opened the first full-time Contemporary Dance school
in Africa and the Arab world. In addition to this 3-year,
full-time professional program with a duration of 30
months, CCDC also offers artistic residencies, classes, and
workshops open to the public in various dance and
movement disciplines. The center also organizes and
participates in public performances and festivals.
CCDC was founded and is under the artistic direction of
Egyptian dancer, choreographer, and educator Karima
Mansour. Both CCDC and Karima Mansour are registered
members of the UNESCO International Dance Council.
