Blurb about yourself

Founded in 2000, under the artistic direction of Steven Weisz,
Music & Motion is a fresh, innovative, performance-oriented, youth
dance company. While the company's genre of dance has been best described as modern, Music & Motion incorporates in to its programs ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, modern, funk, hiphop and acrobatic styles.

Music & Motion has performed at a variety of functions in its short yet diverse history. Venues have included major attractions and museums throughout Pennsylvania, New jersey and Delaware, fairs and festivals, corporate events and trade shows, conventions, regional malls, special events and charity galas. Music & Motion also donates performances throughout the year to charitable institutions and community oriented programs and has initiated such programs as Dance for Hurricane Relief in 2005 and Dance for Social Change in 2006 to aid in ending child hunger.

The company reaches a wide range of audiences each year with mesmeric dances and unique performance concepts. Commissioned dances by the company have included Primal for the Philadelphia Zoo, Futura for the Franklin Institute and Illuminescence for the 2004 Philly Fringe & Live Arts Festival, Elements for the Philly Fringe 2005, and To A Different Beat for the 2006 Fringe Festival.

Music & Motion performances feature an eclectic repertoire of work, all of which have been developed and choreographed by the entire cast. This collaborative effort is rich in synergy, imagination, celebration and spirit. Music & Motion continues to create new dance works each year, adding to their already extensive repertoire. Audiences have responded with enthusiasm, finding themselves caught up in a world of exhilarating rhythm, movement and music created by this multi-talented group.
