About the Organization:
ALDEN MOVES Dance Theater is dedicated to making movement dance and making dance move--on stage and in the classroom. Comprised of a professional division, a children’s division, and a recreational division for teens and adults, we are a repertory company dedicated to supporting artists whose work is steeped in tradition and infused with contemporary perspective. Further, we seek to inspire new generations of artists and audiences by offering classes in which the whole family can discover--or revisit--their joy of movement, music, and dancing. We’re thrilled to have made our permanent home in Prospect Park South, where we've made Studio 1203 a playground for artists and students alike.
