The Mark Morris Dance Center
THE MARK MORRIS DANCE CENTER
Brooklyn, NY 11217
718-624-8400
The company broke ground on the Dance Center in July 1999 and construction was completed in September 2001. The Mark Morris Dance Center was constructed almost wholly with contributed funds, both public and private.
At the heart of the Mark Morris Dance Center are seven column-free studios with wood-sprung floors and spacious dressing rooms with lockers and showers. Primarily used by the company and school, the seven studios which range in size from 430 square-feet to 3,600 square-feet, are available for rent to non-profit dance companies at deeply discounted rates. The Dance Center also offers a wellness center, a performance space and expanded public spaces. It has become a haven, a society of dancing, a community enterprise for people of all ages and abilities.

MEET OUR FRONT RUNNER THIS WEEK
Luis Salgado (Choreographer)
Luis Salgado is an international star. Headlining as the Asst. Latin Choreographer of Tony Winning In the Heights, teaching master classes at BDC and now on staff at Roy Arias, Luis is a busy artist. His greatest accomplishments this year include being interviewed by Brian Williams of NBC Nightly News on behalf of Luis’s popular and flourishing non-profit, R.Evolucion Latina, www.revolucionlatina.org. Luis has dedicated the motto “Dare to Go Beyond” to R.Evolucion Latina and its catching on like wildfire. He recently gathered more than 25 singers and 30 musicians to produce a Broadway-based inspirational CD entitled, The Dare to Go Beyond album, which will be available soon.
Connect with R.Evolucion Latina and Luis Salgado on Facebook to keep tabs on this bright star and make it to our culminating performance at Ailey on June 12th, where a portion of the proceeds will go towards Luis’s non profit. Dare to Go Beyond!
