Ongoing Programs

Midan – Dance Performance is a monthly performance series that provides a regular platform for Amman's dance artists to present their work. Each month, the series features a range of works — solos, duets, and group pieces — from both local and international artists, closing with a 30-40 minute group improvised performance for an audience, bringing together dancers and musicians. Midan – Dance Performance is committed to building an audience for contemporary dance in Amman and creating a consistent space where artists and communities can meet through movement.

Movement Classes

Midan occassionally offers movement classes for the community. Led primarily by Midan director Ryuji Yamaguchi, and sometimes by local and international guest artists, the classes offer dancers a  space to develop skills and move together. Dance communities are built through shared practice — these classes are that foundation. All classes are offered on a sliding-scale fee.

ChoreoLab provides an opportunity for artists to create danceworks of any genre with mentorship support from Midan. Works-in-progress are shown publicly when ready, giving artists the chance to receive meaningful audience feedback and develop their work further. ChoreoLab also provides assistance with rehearsal space and choreography workshops to support artist development.
