Dwarf galaxies are the most common type of galaxies in the Universe, and have great relevance when trying to perform studies of complex baryonic processes in shallow potentials, such as star formation and feedback, but also as cosmological probes. However, this type of galaxies are difficult to observe due to their low surface brightness nature. In this talk I will present the MaNGA Dwarf Galaxy Sample (MaNDala), which has photometric and integral field spectroscopic data for over 130 bright dwarf galaxies at different environments and morphologies, which aims to provide a robust set of observations to perform different types of studies in these objects. I will show results regarding our efforts to characterize and interpret different stellar and ionized gas properties of the sample in the context of the evolution of galaxies scenario. Finally I will also discuss our prospects to enlarge the data of the current sample, as well as the number of objects.
