With seven fully-equipped professional dance studios, it provides a home for the company, subsidized rehearsal space for local artists, and diverse dance classes for people of all ages and abilities. It has become a vital resource for the community—one that emphasizes the relationship between music, dance, and access to the arts.Each year, MMDG serves 65,000 people through performances and educational and community engagement programs, including its world-renowned Dance for PD© program.

• Sustain Artistic Excellence - providing support for the creation of new dances, expanded live music programming, and capacity-building initiatives.

• Secure Mark Morris’ Legacy – providing support for Dances for the Future and creating a clear path for the guardians of Morris’ work to preserve his legacy in a truly unique way.

At this pivotal moment, the Dance Group seeks an accomplished fundraising professional to join its executive team. This position provides the leadership, strategic direction, management and coordination for all aspects of fundraising.
