About the project

MVMT Dance Festival (MDF) is an extraordinary showcase of talent across the mid-west, providing dance artists with a platform to shine and share their incredible artistry. MDF is a celebration of movement, expression, and creativity, where the stage becomes a canvas for stories to unfold through the power of dance. During this festival, Chicago will be transformed into a hub of rhythmic energy and artistic excellence. From contemporary to hip-hop, ballet to jazz, our festival embraces diverse genres, reflecting our beloved city's rich tapestry of the dance community.

The Steps

Our team works hard to cultivate a memorable experience for everyone. Through the following steps, we are able to create MDF as we know it today:

  • Secure Event Location(s) & Venues
  • Public Call For Dance Artists 
  • Create Festival Weekend Itinerary 
  • Build Festival's Branding, Webpage & Collateral 
  • Solicit for Sponsorships
  • Publicly Market Event

Why we‘re doing it

MDF helps us unify our community through dance and fully aligns with the mission of the MVMT Foundation. 

The MVMT Foundation (501c3) is a dance organization dedicated to utilizing dance to build community, camaraderie, and connections among Black artists in the Chicago metropolitan area. Our vision is for Chicago to be illuminated as one of the nation’s premier locations for dance training, dance instruction, and dance performance. We aim to captivate the dance industry and generate feasible career opportunities for aspiring dance professionals regardless of cultural background, racial inequities, or ethnicity.
