MODERN MOVES 2024: SPRING SERIES

Modern Moves is a dance performance series created by two independent artists, Jordyn Cherry and Amina Kolenc. The show is composed of emerging choreographers from NJ and NYC, utilizing this platform to advance and share their art. 

This is our second run of this series, and we aim to curate a program that highlights VARIETY in regards to theme, tone, and genre. We are interested in seeing dance theater, street styles, floorwork, ballet, pointe, contemporary/modern, and anything else under the sun. To be considered, fill out the form below with your proposed piece for the show and a video of the work. If the work will be new, please submit a sample of your work that is similar to your intended idea and choreographic style. (Make sure the videos are public/don’t need to request access for viewing!) We ask that pieces be no longer than 10 minutes maximum in length.

This is a curated show and we only have 5 available slots for artists. We will be accepting the pieces that fall in alignment with the other works in this program. If your work is not selected this time, we will stay in contact about future opportunities. We greatly appreciate your time and interest!
