Bringing dance to every child

By connecting high school dancers with elementary students, we build confidence, creativity and joy, one step at a time. 

About Us

The Movement Project is a teen-led outreach initiative dedicated to bringing dance to elemtary schools and community centers across Harlem. Our team of high school dancers creates original choreography and visits these spaces to share it with kids, guiding them step by step through fun and engaging routines. Through dance, we help children express themselves, build confidence and experience the joy of dancing. We believe dance can help children discover themselves, build confidence, and connect with others in a way that lasts beyond the studio or classroom.
