Merseyside Dance Initiative is an agency working to develop dance throughout Merseyside.
A partner of Dance Northwest, the national dance agency for the region, MDI works in partnership with artists, promoters and other agencies and organisations to provide opportunities to participate in, create and see all kinds of dance. The charity is deeply involved in the community of Merseyside and believes that dance is integral to not only the physical well being of the community but also their mental health.
MDI is committed to bringing dance to the region and each year holds its two-week contemporary dance festival, LEAP, at various locations across Liverpool. It recently held the first of its biennial festivals of African and Caribbean dance called Cultural Awakening Festival, which runs concurrently with Cultiv8, its seminar to discuss the cultural integration of African and Caribbean arts in the UK. As an arts agency in the north west, MDI is reliant upon charitable donations, sponsorship and funding from organisations.
"If you think you or your organisation can assist us in upholding the the promise we assert in our strapline, 'Inspiring People Through Dance', we'd love to hear from you".
