ABOUT

Our Mission

Finleigh Zack Dance, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization believes that through the language of physical movement, artists can find clarity and a new ways to express themselves. Our mission is to bring perspective, awareness, and inspiration to mental health through dance, and give voice to young adults that have been personally affected or know someone affected by mental health. Dance is the only language that speaks to every culture and age group. FZD's audience receives an authentic experience that is honest, edgy and raw.

Our foundation

Movement, Meet-Ups, and Mentorship form the foundation of everything we do. These three pillars reflect how we create, connect, and care, not just as artists, but as people.

Movement drives our choreographic work, giving form to emotion and voice to stories.

Meet-Ups create community through shared experiences.

Mentorship ensures the next generation of dance artists are supported intentionally artistically, professionally, and personally.

Together, these sectors create a full-circle model for sustainable, meaningful engagement in dance.

THE DIRECTOR

Founder/Artistic Director
I am the artistic director of FZD as well as a dancer & choreographer based in London, England. My work is heavily influenced on collaboration, personal experience, and the outside eye. I work to incorporate a mindful approach to creation in and out of the studio as a way to work on the physical and emotional body. I do this through artistic direction and collaboration with the artists around me.
I received my BFA in Dance from NYU Tisch School of the Arts under the direction of Sean Curran and am a previous member of WHITE WAVE Young Soon Dance Company and Second Avenue Dance Company.
My work has been selected and performed at The Paris Olympics, Rambert Dance Studios, Gibney Dance Center, Center for Performance Research, The Mark O’Donnell Theater, New Century Dance Project, Boink! Dance Film Festival, Arts on Site, as well as Club Evasion Detente Sante in Le Pontis, Verteillac, France.
I have worked with various companies and artists who have influenced my work including Luna Cenere, Sophia Nappi, Rena Butler, Alonzo King, David Parsons, Yin Yue, Dwight Rhoden, and many more.
My love for creating has not only influenced me as an artist but as a human. I want my work to influence others and how they view dance and performative art as a whole. With my creations, I strive to leave the audience inspired to change the world.
I express my gratitude to each and everyone of you for visiting my site.
