Motion Art Studio celebrated its 30th anniversary with a gala performance titled “Aurora,” which took place in April 2022 at the Strovolos Municipal Theatre. Originally scheduled for 2020, the event was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The performance featured 204 students and was an emotional experience for both participants and spectators. “Aurora” tells the story of Princess Aurora, drawing inspiration from the classical fairy tales of Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Hansel & Gretel. The narrative follows Aurora on an adventurous and magical journey, helping her develop into a kind, patient, and brave princess. All net proceeds from the event were donated to the ‘Hope For Children’ organisation.

Motion Art Studio celebrated their 25th Years Anniversary with a Gala Performance called “25 Balloons Go By” which took place on 19th and 20th March 2016, at the Strovolos Municipal Theatre. Two hundred and fifty students participated in the show; it was a journey through the decades with iconic choreographies from the most important shows of Motion Art Studio. Net profits from the show were donated to “SOPHIA FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN”, which fights poverty and its consequences, mainly concentrating on the most vulnerable of all social groups, children. Both nights of the show were sold out and parents, family, friends and past students enjoyed old and new choreographies, which brought sentimental tears to everyone: “Listen to your heart”, “Material Girl” and “Jam” brought nostalgia to our past students reminding them of the good old times they spent at Motion Art Studio.
Motion Art Studio celebrated 20 years of dancing at an exhilarating street party on 29th April, 2011. Former and new students re-united to celebrate, rejoice and enjoy a fascinating voyage through two decades of dancing. The event was marked by a series of celebrations through imaginative choreography and inspiring pieces from past and present. But, above all, the night was swamped with emotions and nostalgic heartbeats… Films portraying students dancing in 1990 were shown on screen while the same group of dancers simultaneously appeared live on stage and simply became one with the 20-year old video. The anniversary festivities culminated in a captivating performance by the Motion Art Studio family. A group of dancers, instructors and administrators, clad in ‘I Motion Art… You?’ T-shirts danced away to the groovy ‘We no speak Americano’ tunes. An enthusiastic standing ovation and cheering echoed throughout the audience as the euphoric crowd sang away Pa pa l' Americano..!
