This dynamic dance troupe is back for another exciting performance, in a bigger venue, by popular demand – their last shows at the Alys Stephens Center sold out. M.A.D. (Music and Dance) Skillz Dance Co., under the direction of Winston Strickland, has brought positive entertainment to all ages in the form of hip-hop, jazz, ballet, praise, African and modern dance. M.A.D. Skillz features young dancers of all ages.

The troupe has been featured at the Birmingham Civil Rights Juneteenth Festival and the Collectors’ Circle for Contemporary Arts at the Birmingham Museum of Arts. They won New York’s “Showtime at the Apollo” and the National Battle of the Dancers’ Dance Competition and were featured in an MTV reality dance show pilot.

M.A.D. Skillz Dance Company most recently competed in the finals of BET’s music show “106 & Park” on their live “Wild Out Wednesday.”
