Moving Steps Foundation

Moving Step's major collaborative performance at SMCC was a resounding success!

Last night was the fourth and final performance of our major collaborative performance at SMCC, and we could not be more proud. The piece was so popular that the women did an encore, performing twice in one night! Over a dozen women participated; some acting, some dancing, and many doing both. We even had some new dance/performance lab members who turned out to be amazing at improv. And all the material used in the performance - including dances, spoken word poetry, and prose - was created by the women.

We'll keep you updated on future performances and any revivals of this particular piece. And please let us know if you're interested in attending any future performances via the contact page on our website: http://www.movingstepsfoundation.org/contact/

Moving Steps is currently in the process of expanding our outside program for women that have recently been released from SMCC. While we have successfully placed women in positions as dance facilitators, we are adding a dance- centric social component to further facilitate long-term success.

With several of our SMCC dancers scheduled for release this spring/early summer, we want to prepare to meet their needs for an outside support system that will aid in their transition to life beyond prison. We are establishing a Moving Steps family with regular meet-ups for dance classes, seminars and performances. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on our progress over the coming months. We’d love to hear your ideas for free classes and performance tickets.
