Rising Stars: Meet MKDC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Lauren

Hi Lauren, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
MKDC started in 2013 as a group of passionate ambitious dancers and fans of Kpop music following the vision and lead of our producer. With years of dedication, oftentimes sleepless nights, and persistence we became a premier Kpop performance group that hosts events, competitions, performs both locally and abroad in South Korea, and offers dance classes for the next generations of Kpop performers to explore their passion for dance and love for Kpop music.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
We’ve had moments of both smooth sailing and rough waters. dance and social media are highly competitive environments with many worthy and talented artists working hard to make a name for themselves. shouldering this fact and pushing through it was difficult at times. With performing comes a normal amount of stress and sometimes the stress becomes heavy. Despite this, with each one of us so passionate and dedicated to growing as dancers and focused on making our performances and team the best they can possibly be, we can all rely on and trust one another to put our best foot forward each and every time we step on stage. The trust, care, and dedication to ourselves and one another is where we experience calm amidst any storms that come.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
MKDC is a premier Kpop performance team located in the Twin Cities. We specialize in Kpop cover dance, a popular way fans of Kpop music can interact with and appreciate the art form and the Kpop industry.

As a premier K-pop performance group, every step we take on stage is a testament to our profound love for K-pop dance, our relentless pursuit of excellence, and our unwavering commitment to bring the essence of Korean culture to global audiences. We believe in the power of music and dance to connect people, transcend borders, and create unforgettable moments.

MKDC’s foundational system is modeled after the style of K-pop entertainment companies. As a U.S. based K-Pop performance group, our identity extends beyond the realms of dance and music; it’s a reflection of our profound respect and connection to the foundational elements of Korean culture. In our day-to-day interactions and endeavors, we draw inspiration from and anchor ourselves in the deep-rooted values and principles of the K-pop entertainment business.

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
Something people might not know about us is how much we appreciate and focus on details in our choreography. Sometimes we will spend hours on one or two moves to fine-tune even the smallest of moments in our performance pieces. We are also incredibly grateful for our viewers and supporters for being with us all this time.
