The Move

g with others. As a member-based non-profit community arts organization, The Move Dance Collective is a co-created experience both on the dance floor, and behind the scenes. We practice collaborative governance, supported and strengthened by our individual commitments to ongoing personal growth work. Just as we move and change together on the dance floor, as an organization we strive to collectively embody cooperation, responsiveness, and adaptability, as we co-create our continued organizational evolution. We hold the strong intention to honour movement and dance as an essential and powerful expression of self and connection to others. The healing and artistic nature of movement is acknowledged by us movers, who recognize fun, play and humour are vital to this practice. We commit to providing an ongoing inclusive space that is body loving and body positive and encourages movement for men and women, people of a variety of ages, sizes, and backgrounds. We celebrate our connection to each other, to the earth, and to the dance of life, in our weekly dance gatherings called THE MOVE. We dance in silence, which allows us to drop deeper into the experience of body movement and non-verbal connection through dance. For those who wish to talk, we request that you go outside in the hallway to speak. No one person is the leader of THE MOVE, and no one movement modality is the way or the path of THE MOVE. We embrace both inner and outer flexibility, change, and transformation. For those who just want to dance, cheers to you and see you on the dance floor. For others, who want to become more involved, or prefer not to pay in money for THE MOVE, let us know, and we do have a few roles that include organizational roles in the Community Advisory Council at the Move, DJ and door positions that are paid or exchange position, and we have scholarships available.
