Board of Directors

McKoy Dance Project (MDP) is a boundary-breaking contemporary dance company dedicated to increasing access in the arts and amplifying the voices of BIPOC and queer communities. We present powerful, story-driven dance works and community-centered programs that challenge tradition and celebrate identity.
Founded in NYC, with plans to expand to Miami and London, MDP is building a global, inclusive platform for dance that redefines who it’s for, how it’s made, and where it lives. In just 5 years, MDP has served over 2,000+ people in the NYC area alone.

MDP is building a mission-aligned, working board of visionary, passionate leaders who can offer:

✅ Strategic Insight – Guidance as we expand to new markets and scale sustainably
✅ Fundraising Support – Connections, advocacy, and/or direct financial contributions
✅ Community Connection – Ties to cultural, philanthropic, or local communities
✅ Creative Thinking – Enthusiasm for arts innovation, inclusion, and impact

Ideal backgrounds include: nonprofit leadership, finance, marketing, law, arts management, DEI, philanthropy, or community development—but all champions of our mission are welcome.
