MAGMA is pleased to announce that they have received a grant from the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency, through its Cultural Experiences Program. Mass Cultural Council

This grant will help fund a dance performance series at MAGMA this upcoming Winter and Spring, bringing high-quality dance to our intimate theater space. Please stay tuned for the series announcement later this month.

Special thanks to our Massachusetts legislators that continue to fund the MCC and help support working artists and cultural facilities through grants like these. Also special thanks for MAGMA’s fiscal sponsor Boston Dance Alliance for the great service you do for dance in Massachusetts.

Our Fall Youth Program begins September 14th!

Introducing young people to this rich world of dance, and the rewarding practice of developing one’s body and mind through a physical discipline, is one of our most important and beloved jobs here at MAGMA.

Our classes are taught methodically and safely, giving each child a foundation of strength and agility before moving on to more complex moves. We place emphasis on age appropriate material in our movement vocabulary and music choices. Our broad curriculum gives kids a variety of styles and approaches to discover and explore.

We create a culture of practice that helps kids understand their own strengths, cheer on other’s strengths, and work on where they need improvement without judgement or negativity. And we believe that everyone, regardless of financial means, should have access to dance lessons, so need-based scholarships are available to offset tuition costs.
