Three Goals

The three goals of MDE include technical and performance improvement, community outreach, and personal growth. MDE's presentation of not only classical and modern dance works, but dance-dramas depicting issues of social significance, promotes tolerance, understanding and respect for individual differences. These goals are accomplished through performances in schools, universities, theatres, museums, community centers, churches, and synagogues throughout Northeast Ohio and beyond.

For the last two years, MDE has delighted audiences of all ages with the Brothers' Grimm version of Cinderella. On October 3, 2003 MDE performed We Shall Stand Tall, dedicated to the victims of 9-11, at the Capitol Theatre in Columbus, Ohio.

On May 16, 1999, MDE performed at The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. in The Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Theatre; the first dance performance in the museum's existence. MDE performed at the Riverdale YM-YMHA in Riverdale, New York in the Neuwirth Theatre on June 19, 2001.
