The History. The Purpose. The Vision.

World Dance Movement began with an idea to give dancers around the world a forum through which they can learn from and inspire each other both artistically and culturally.

I wanted to bring together all the dancers and cultures I had worked with all over the world under one umbrella. I was so inspired when I traveled to different countries and was able to see the way dancers trained, the class etiquette, the passion each one had. The idea to create World Dance Movement was to allow them all to share their artistry with each other.
