WHAT WE DO
Sustainable Dance Education
In Panama we provide weekly free dance classes for youth in orphanages, schools and youth centers. We employ four local professional teaching artists to teach these sustainable classes. We also provide special events for our students such as field trips, speciality dance workshops, and performances.
Leadership Development
In the United States, we have a network of university chapters who volunteer on a regular basis in their local communities to provide free dance education opportunities to youth, seniors, and college students. They also participate in professional development workshops such as conferences and webinars focused on topics like dance pedagogy, leadership, civic engagement, and training in indigenous and cultural dance forms.
International Cultural Exchange
Movement Exchange leads international dance exchanges between the US and Panama focusing on service learning and immersion in the arts. Exchanges are 8 days long and consist of teaching dance at our partner organizations in Panama City, taking dance classes from local professionals, and learning about the history and culture of Panama.
