International Dancing Center – Hallmark was founded in 2001 by Ms. Tatiana Bondarenko-Ioangou in order to teach children and adults from all backgrounds how to dance. All levels of ability are catered for with separate classes for complete beginners, intermediate and advanced, where people can learn Latin (samba, cha-cha-cha, rumba, jive and paso doble) and standard ballroom (waltz, foxtrot, tango and quickstep), together with various Caribbean dances (salsa, merengue, bachata) and Hip-Hop. More than just dance lessons, the classes offer students a great way to stay in shape, improve co-ordination, enhance confidence and meet people.

The show team includes kids and adults of various ages that perform exciting and interesting routines all over Cyprus and the World, learning how to be a part of a group and gaining valuable stage experience. In addition to that, most of the students get a chance to see another side of dancing while taking part in the yearly competitions organized by the school throughout the years, which are open to everybody in Cyprus to watch and participate in.

We are not only successful in Cyprus, but also on the international scene as well. Some of the highlights include finals at the various Latin Ballroom World Championships, as well as performing at the most prestigious salsa event in Europe, the UK International Salsa Congress, with an act of a young couple that brought about 2000 people on their feet.
