What to expect from MDP?

Momentum Dance Project is a performance based dance company. Our goal is to provide an enriching, supportive environment to teach young dancers how to grow as a dance ensemble and develop individually as artists. We want to celebrate their accomplishments and help them develop skills, artistry and confidence.

We will produce a body of work that culminates in a concert with elements such as projection and theater lighting.

We have 3 tiers for company which are Momentum Dance Club, MDP Second Company & MDP.

All Company members are qualified through invite only. This will be based on either an audition or through class observation.
