Dance
Multnomah Athletic Club’s Dance Company has been a part of the club for more than 20 years and regularly develops young artists that go on to pursue a professional career in dance. The program is designed to help youth experience the thrill of performance and the rigors of competition, all while instilling a love and passion for the art. Professional employees work diligently to teach all genres in an effort to create well-rounded and versatile performers. MAC dancers regularly give back to the community and enrich member experience through performances such as the annual Nutcracker, Street Fair, and Student Choreographer Showcase.
