Ed Foundation's Moving together dance series

Need a break from your quarantine routine? Are you up for a dance challenge or maybe just want to learn some new moves?

​

You can dance with the “Moving Together” Dance Series - a high-energy hip-hop/urban contemporary dance program created by award-winning choreographer and teaching artist Robert Gilliam and funded by the Ed Foundation’s For The Arts endowment.

​

This online program is a true celebration of movement, self-expression and creativity. You will cover the foundations of hip-hop dance through to the current street styles of today, along with a warm-up, a stretch/flexibility session, and two master classes taught by professional dancers Kim Borgaro and Ceylon Harris from OTE Dance Studio. Borgaro teaches a high-energy Jazz class and Harris offers her popular Acro 4 Dance.

​

“Moving Together” is offered in two different modules: beginner and intermediate. Both programs are open to all levels and abilities. You’ll even see that some videos are in both levels. No dance experience needed!
