Florida Dance Association
111 SW Fifth Avenue, Suite 202
Miami, FL 33130

Florida Dance Association is a nonprofit service organization and dance presenter, whose mission is to serve, support and promote dance in Florida through programs that facilitate the teaching, creation, presentation and administration of dance. FDA produces the Florida Dance Festival, an annual two-week event celebrating dance through education and performance. Through the Festival, FDA is among the leading dance presenters in Florida presenting international, national and Florida artists in teaching and performing residencies. Other projects include a resource guide to Florida artists and organizations, dance training and scholarship programs for high school and middle school students, technical assistance for artists, and advocacy for dance in Florida.

Florida Dance Association presents dance and dance-theater during the annual Florida Dance Festival, the last two weeks of June each year. Artists are selected and programmed by FDA’s Executive Director. Program planning generally begins 18-24 months in advance. FDA presents all forms of dance and seeks artists whose work is innovative, contemporary and/or culturally specific. Dance artists with disabilities are also of interest for a program entitled danceAble, which is co-produced with another NPN Partner. Strongest consideration is given to artists who also teach and conduct residency activities such as technique classes, repertory or composition workshops, or other community-based projects.
