In August of 2006, 13 dancers came together and created an environment of collaborative, intense, technical dance training and artistic exploration.  For two seasons, this group worked together and trained together.  In July of 2007 the group split from their former company and decided to create thier own entity with the Momentum from the previous years experiences...thus, Momentum Dance Lab was formed.  MDL is currently a collaborative of 9 dancers who teach, train and perform together around the Knoxville community.  We are passionate about continuing professional quality dance training and performance outlets for adults and welcome new participants and collaboration members.  MDL collaboration members do all the work of fundraising, administration and artistic oversight as well as teaching classes and creating promotional materials.  We are learning that we are talented in many ways other than dance and are excited to be constantly welcoming new members and participants to experience the Momentum for themselves!  We are exploring the process of becoming a 501 c3 Tennessee Not-for-proffit company in the coming months and are excited at the possibilities that designation will afford us.  We are interested in collaborating with artists of all media types and performing in many venues around East Tennessee in the coming seasons.  No one knows what the future holds, indeed the only moment we ever have is this one, but we, MDL collaboration members are pleased to be sharing our passion with the East Tennessee community and are looking well into the future to see where this momentum will take us.
