Project Moves...moving the mind body and soul of dancers and audiences alike.

  

 

Studying with industry professionals on our full time faculty and a wide variety guest artists young dancers maintain a rigorous, challenging and inspiring training program throughout the school year.

 

Thoughtful guidance is given to every dancer by a diverse and unique faculty that cares.

Although technical classes include: Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Contemporary, Tap, Musical Theatre, Hip Hop, Conditioning, Palates and a few other things here and there, most students gain much more than dance training from Project Moves.

 

Our dancers are unique in their maturity; dancers demonstrate a respect for their art, their teachers and each other.  By promoting excellence, passion and risk taking, this unique program provides a solid foundation for any young person, whether their future includes a career as a dance artist or not.   Project Moves currently nourishes the souls of nearly one hundred young artists from all over Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

"Hi Rennie, It was a pleasure to have your dancers performing with us!!!!  Thank you so much for giving them everything that you do!  You are an amazing gift to them, and their dancing and beings show it all!" Thank you again, Jana Hicks Steps on B'dway NYC

 

Through auditions and/or class evaluations, the faculty provides a personal education agenda for each young artist selected for Project Moves. 

 

"I do not try to dance better than anyone else,  I only try to dance better than myself."

--Mikhail Baryshnikov

THE NEXT STEP...Performance Training (optional)

Having a duel purpose Project Moves offers aspiring dance artists an incredible scope of dance, theatre and performance training while providing audiences of all ages thought provoking works guaranteed to move the mind body and soul.  What began as a successful competition team, this program has now evolved into a true pre-professional company replacing the competition emphasis with “dance as art”.

 

Raising thousands of dollars for various charities, The Gold School produces two nationally recognized benefit concerts annually. With professional direction, choreography, and lighting, these productions offer young dance artists unparalleled performance training. Dancers are afforded the opportunity to work with our professional in-house and guest choreographers on creative works in all genres of dance.

 

Because the full time faculty determines casting for the season’s choreography dancers are given the opportunity to audition in each class taken. Technically qualified, motivated, dependable, and most importantly, dancers that are pleasant to work with, always receive first consideration when casting.

 

"Performance Program" rehearsals are in addition to  technique class schedule.
