Welcome to Melanie Aceto Contemporary Dance.

Melanie Aceto Contemporary Dance (MACD) is a modern dance company based in upstate NewYork exploring both lush and comedic work. Melanie's work is accessible to all audiences and offers viewers a new perspective or insight on a particular concept often leaving the audience with an "ah ha!" moment of satisfaction. Her desire is to inspire, to inform and to challenge audiences to perceive more fully.

MACD is committed to working with composers in the development of new work and committed to the use of live music in performance.  Melanie’s interest is in integrating the musicians into the work in both subtle and prominent ways and in collaborating with the composer. Not simply a soundtrack to the dance, the music is a driving force and an inspiration in the creation and performance of the work.
