Advancing creative visionaries on and off the stage.

MDM performances at PAMM (approx 50 sec)

Miami DanceMakers (MDM) is an annual six-month professional development program that supports local dance makers at early stages of their career with both financial support and a proven professional development curriculum.

Launched by Adele Myers and Dancers in partnership with the Pérez Art Museum of Miami in 2021, MDM Artists receive a stipend to create a new dance work, artistic and administrative mentorship, and professional development curriculum. Finally, networking with a diverse group of individual and performance opportunities are woven through the length of the program.

Creative Development Partners provide in-kind rehearsal space and in exchange the MDM Artists volunteer behind the scenes to support their partnering organizations, providing experiential learning in the inner workings of artistic venues and organizations. Miami DanceMakers culminates in a live performance of new dance works inspired by the exhibited artwork throughout the PAMM galleries.
