At MFI, technique building, personal embodiment, and collective cultural evolution aren't separate goals—they're dimensions of the same work.
Social dance never exists inside of a vacuum—it is always in conversation with its cultural context. Its history is one of people gathering to resource, celebrate, express, and metabolize everything too big to be held alone, together. MFI seeks to continue this lineage of connecting the individual, the partnership, and the collective experience through gathering to study dance.
This event is designed to be rigorous and nourishing, structured and spacious, technically precise and relationally rich. Each year we iterate upon the foundation of what we learned the year prior, always in the direction of creating a place where the study itself is both a pleasure and a medium for collaboration.
