We started the Chicago Movement Collective (CMC) to provide a home for the community’s incredible teaching artists, musicians, and soon-to-be performing artists. The Chicago dance community is famously supportive and this collective is a reflection of that love and care. No matter one’s goals in dance, commercial, concert, or otherwise, CMC is committed to helping our entire community get there.
CMC hosts classes out of Intrigue Dance and Performing Arts Center(Monday-Friday) and Chicago Multi-Cultural Dance Center (Saturday-Sunday).

“In my career here in Chicago, I noticed a disparity between the expansive racial identities and vast gender expressions of our populace and the bodies I saw on stage. Dance has become an elitist pursuit and it is my goal to use whatever privilege I have to dismantle the way dancers are trained in 2020 and beyond. It’s time for a different, more equitable model, and it is my hope that Chicago Movement Collective becomes one of them.”
