Moving Spirits, Inc. Past & Present

Celebrate 15 years of Moving Spirits, Inc. with 15 Years: Past & Present, an evening rooted in the remembrance and the spirit of Black dance. Moving Spirits is a contemporary arts organization dedicated to performing, researching, documenting, cultivating, and producing the arts of the African diaspora.

This anniversary performance highlights more than a decade of repertory that reflects the company’s commitment to honoring lineage while pushing creative boundaries. Audiences will experience works that center storytelling, spirituality, and social consciousness, continuing the company’s practice of using dance to bring awareness to injustices and uplift Black and Brown communities.

Returning to perform at Gibney Dance also marks a full-circle moment for the company, as the space once housed Dance New Amsterdam, home to one of Moving Spirits, Inc.’s earliest performances in New York City. This homecoming reflects the company’s deep roots in NYC while honoring the global reach of our work across numerous communities.

Join us for an immersive and soulful evening of dance that reflects 15 years of community engagement, cultural preservation, and artistic excellence.
