The mission of Earl Mosley's Institute of the Arts, a subsidiary of the not-for-profit Diversity of Dance, Inc., is to provide an environment where student artists from diverse ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds can achieve the highest levels of excellence through positive collaborations with teachers and peers. 

Dance Talks at EMIA gives a platform for emerging artists to engage with EMIA students, through workshops, performances, and Q&A's, to create those mutual positive collaborations, connections, and experiences. EMIA will be compensating each company with a flat rate of $250 which supports your meal, travel, and artistic services. Below is a mock schedule that each company/artist would receive:
