Mădălina Dan is a choreographer and performer, one of the established creators of contemporary dance in Romania, active on international stages, but also very present and involved in the local choreographic context, in which she generously invests time, energy and knowledge. The artist creates complex contents and sophisticated working methodologies that she shares in contexts that become spaces of communication, being a true explorer and connector between people, collectives and ideas.
She is a graduate of the “Floria Capsali” Choreography High School in Bucharest and of the National University of Theatrical and Cinematographic Arts in Bucharest – Choreography section; she also graduated from UNATC with a Master in dramatic writing.

Between 2014-2016 she studied in Berlin at HZT (Hochschulübergreifende Zentrum Tanz Berlin) in the SoDA (Solo/Dance/Authorship) master program.
