From collaborations with Oglethorpe Museum of Art and Georgia Tech, to a sold-out performance of "Up Close & Personal", to our anniversary concert "Collective Memory", and to the 33rd Modern Atlanta Dance Festival (and lots of other amazing things in between), it's been a wonderful 35th season!

Reel ID: Against a grey background, the words "That's a wrap on our season. To our audiences, collaborators, dancers, sponsors, and supporters, thank you for 35 years of moving together". The red & white Full Radius Dance logo appears below the words. Confetti sprinkles down from the top of the screen and a pair of clapping hands applaud at the bottom of the screen.

Created by Douglas Scott and Full Radius Dance in 1995 to showcase the diversity and excellence of Atlanta's dance scene, the festival is one of the only professionally juried dance festivals in the Southeast. The festival builds community for local artists and companies and cultivates new audiences through the festival format.

MAD by the numbers!! 📚

2026 marks the 33rd Modern Atlanta Dance Festival. Through the years, we’ve welcomed more than 230 companies/independent artists and over 930 dancers to the MAD Festival stage.

The MAD Festival has been presented at 8 different venues throughout its 33 year history, including Agnes Scott College’s Presser Hall, the Conant Center for the Performing Arts, Balzer Theater at Herren’s, and Emory University Performing Arts Studio.

We presented two festivals in 2002 - one in theatre and, later that same year, outdoors at Woodruff Park.

The fifth festival had a number of 'firsts' - the festival moved to an adjudicated format from an open festival, new location at Conant Performing Arts Center and first appearance of the combined companies of Dance Force, Inc. and E=motion, now named Full Radius Dance!

Image ID: graphic with a red background and large bold text that reads, “230 COMPANIES/ARTIST, 930 DANCERS ON STAGE.” Within “230” and 930” are photos of dancers with a red overlay. The MAD Festival logo is at the bottom center of the graphic.
