Established in 2016 as an educational initiative, MFD began by providing young artists with creative outlets and a supportive environment to develop their creative voices. Rooted in its mission of education, we have held workshops dance communities across Texas, Oklahoma, Los Angeles, and beyond, offering opportunities that empower artists at every stage of their careers.

With a commitment to cultivating artistic excellence and risk taking, MFD has also provided young artists with the opportunity to be a part of creative processes with choreographers such as Sidra Bell, Norbert De La Cruz, Maleek Washington, Cristie Lou Partelow. We have also awarded ten half and full scholarships to every MFD event, two $500 college tuition scholarships, and created platforms for new voices to be seen and heard.

MFD also supports photographers and videographers by providing a photographer in residence position at every event. Learn more about our past events below.
