NACHMO (National Choreography Month) challenges choreographers, dancers, and movement enthusiasts to create new dance work each January. We host events, post choreographic prompts to social media, and facilitate ways for participants to meet, network and collaborate. In February we produce shows to share the newly made dances with the public and give choreographers a chance to get structured feedback. We seek to build a strong, active community of dance makers, and we hope you’ll join us!

Studio Shows

NACHMO NYC choreographers can enter a lottery to present their work in 5 studio showings at the Mark Morris Dance Center. We can accommodate up to 50 choreographers, who will be chosen by random lottery and can confirm their spot by paying the $15 performance fee. You can enter the lottery at www.nachmo.org starting January 1st.
