Every spring since 1989, the Fort Wayne Dance Collective brings a guest dance company to Fort Wayne to inspire, educate, enhance the community, and of course entertain. FWDC has also hosted three Indiana Dance Festivals featuring guest artist performances and master classes.
All events for the 2020 Guest Artist in Residence, MOMIX, have been canceled due to COVID-19. The Embassy and FWDC are eager to work together and are currently discussing other collaboration ideas to help keep performing arts alive in Fort Wayne during this challenging era. Please stay tuned for more information on upcoming events!
