MamLuft&Co. Dance was founded in 2007 in order to meet two needs: (1) to make modern dance accessible to Cincinnati and beyond, and (2) to create sustained opportunities for professional modern dance artists in Southwest Ohio who provide such services.
MamLuft&Co. Dance currently works with eight collaborative resident company members. In addition, MamLuft&Co. Dance has collaborated or performed with an ever-growing number of guest artists, organizations, or other collaborators, including composers, percussionists, video artists, collaboratives, and playwrights.
Its work has been seen locally since 2007 in seasons with multiple premieres of evening-length and shorter works. MamLuft&Co. Dance is a "regular" at the Cincinnati Fringe Festival and performs its mainstage events at the Aronoff Center for the Arts. It has recently filmed portions of a dance-for-camera at the historic Emery Theatre. The company has performed in Illinois, Virginia, Texas, and neighboring Kentucky.
The organization provides dance education and outreach programs at several area schools, community classes, summer camp, and a summer workshop/intensive.

Purdy, Jr. Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, as well as through project grants from ArtsWave,Greater Cincinnati Foundation Summertime Kids Grants, the Greater Cincinnati Foundation/Cincinnati Arts Association Rental Subsidy, and The Summerfair Foundation.
