Welcome to
Panama
International Dance Exchanges
Every year we host multiple international dance exchanges to Panama where dancers from around the world get to come to Panama to teach dance to the youth in our programs, take dance classes from local professional artists, and learn about the history and culture of Panama.
Sustainable Dance Education
We run a year-round sustainable and free dance education program for under-resourced youth in and around Panama City. We provide free dance classes taught by professional teaching artists in ballet, contemporary, hip hop, and breakdancing. Classes are taught on a weekly basis to our partner organizations.
Annual Show
Every year we host a large Annual Show in Panama City so that all of our students have the chance to experience performance on a professional scale. We also invite local dance companies to perform in the show, and our American dance diplomats on our exchanges perform as well.
Free Weekly Dance Education
Movement Exchange provides free dance classes for under-resourced youth in an around Panama City. We employ four local year-round professional dance instructors to teach at our partner organizations on a weekly basis. Our students are from Malambo Orphanage, Aldea SOS, Barrio Activo, and Movimiento Nueva Generacion. Students take free dance classes in hip hop, breakdancing, ballet, and contemporary. We also host quarterly experiences for them outside of their dance classes such as field trips, excursions to museums and shows, special dance workshops with guest artists, and more. We also host an Annual Show every year so that all of our students have the opportunity to perform on a professional stage in Panama.
