MV Dance Project was created by Founding Artistic Director Maxine Montilus in April 2019.

“MV” stands for the names of Maxine’s grandmothers, Marie Maxine Montilus and Velie Pierre. Both women lived lives of service to their communities in their native Haiti and the United States by providing economic support, healing services and more.

MV Dance Project aims to be of service to communities as well, through the art form of dance.

MV Dance Project is of service to others through performances that both inform and inspire audiences on various social, cultural and historical issues, as well as in the realm of dance education through workshops, lecture demonstrations, master classes and residencies.
