Momentum Dance Company is a community of dancers who are passionate about telling stories and sharing beauty through the art of dance. The company is comprised of dancers of all ages and dance styles/trainings. Our common ground is our love for the performing arts, our desire for personal and community excellence, and our commitment to inspiring the next generation of dancers. We are primarily a ballet company but we enjoy branching out into other dance styles like modern, contemporary, jazz, lyrical, and tap.
Our dancers have an incredible support system led by their families and the Momentum Dance Company Board of Directors. The Board of Directors oversees the administrative and financial affairs of the company, while our brilliant Artistic Team plans and directs performances.
Momentum Dance Company's mission is to provide local dancers with professional training and performance opportunities, while simultaneously serving the community through arts education and outreach initiatives. To realize our mission, Momentum Dance Company (MDC) produces programs in varied styles of dance--primarily classical ballet--to promote participation in, accessibility to, and enduring appreciation for the Fine Arts in Irving and the greater DFW Metroplex.
We are growing! We just finished a successful showing of our 20th anniversary "Nutcracker' with over 50 dancers and are currently concluding out our sold out shows of 'Wizard of Oz' with over 70 dancers, all new costumes, props and backdrops. We need donations so we can help our dancers maintain their quality of dance by buying them pointe shoes. A dancer can go through a pair in just a few weeks. We have maintained our presence in the community at the local schools and would love to fund scholarships for students to see our shows. We give away as many tickets as we can to our shows but would like to double that amount and need sponsors to help us achieve that goal. We would also like corporate sponsors to help us reach into the community even more and give us the exposure we need. We have started a scholarship fund for our dancers for summer programming and would love donations from the community to not only maintain that funding but grow it so more dancers have access to programming locally and statewide.
