Fostering Creative Collaboration Across Genres

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed more challenges than benefits for most peoples’ lives. However, in unique and unexpected ways, this time of isolation and solace has allowed people to re-connect with creative parts of themselves and explore ventures they’ve always wanted to. For MiYoung Margolis, MiYoung Margolis Dance Collective or MMDC was born out of the rubbles of the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to foster creativity and collaboration across genres.

MiYoung shares that for her entire life, dance has been a core part of who she is.

 

She has experience mostly training in ballet and Martha Graham’s modern technique. She also trained in traditional Korean dance styles when studying for her undergraduate degree from Korea National Sport University in Seoul, South Korea. As a student, MiYoung got the opportunity to travel abroad and perform internationally. Dance also had a big influence on her outside of the classroom, as she sought out other styles like salsa. Education is another one of MiYoung’s passions, as she has a master’s degree in the subject.
